'Talk for Writing' in partnership with the National Literacy Trust
Friday 22 October 2010

This training session has been developed by the National Literacy Trust.
Gain ideas on how to offer a range of tools that will engage children
and young people and support literacy development, using the wealth of
archives and museum collections available. Explore the Talk for Writing
approach and how it can be used to build the bridge of creative literacy
between schools and museums.
Talk for Writing is a well known, creative approach to developing
writing, popular among teachers and pupils alike. At its basis, the
approach is the exploration through talk of the thinking and creative
processes involved in being a writer. Children are encouraged to discuss
and explore all stages of the writing process from generating and
developing thoughts, ideas and opinions, through to shaping and crafting
and finally communicating those ideas in written form. The strategies
used to support this process are practical, engaging and multi-sensory
in nature. This day will look at how this approach, used in many
schools, can work in a museum or archive context.
This event is free but places are limited, so please book your place by
