Writing

Our Prep learners will be using the VOICES framework in their Writing lessons, focusing on strategies to enhance meaning, sentence fluency, and sentence structure. By exploring ways to make their writing more expressive and coherent, students are developing their ability to communicate ideas clearly. We are encouraging them to experiment with sentence variety and structure to make their writing more engaging. These foundational skills are essential for becoming confident and effective writers. 

Key Vocabulary: sentence, question mark, flow, word choice
