1.	Using a shared approach to writing Tutor and learners contribute to the plan, the ideas, and the language of a text they construct together. Sharing quality work Learners read and analyse good models to gain a clearer understanding of what they are expected to write. Suggestions for teaching the writing process Suggestions for teaching and learning that can be used with all learners, or with those learners who require support with one or more progressions only.	Suggestions for teaching spelling: step 1 Suggestions for teaching and learning that can be used with all learners, or with those learners who require support with one or more progressions only. Phonological awareness Information and teaching activities about the ability to hear and work with the sounds in words. This involves an awareness of the sounds that operates at different levels including whole word, syllable, onset–rime and, finally, phoneme. Sound-letter relationships Information and teaching activities about the relationships between sounds (or phonemes) and letters (or graphemes). This involves the connections between the sounds in words and the letters that are used to represent those sounds. Included are two other related concepts: the alphabetic principle and letter recognition.
