There are 4 main purposes to writing: Writing to inform, writing to persuade, writing to entertain and writing to discuss. Your child will read a range of texts around these purposes and produce writing for each of the purposes. Below is a link to guidance notes for the four writing purposes in KS1 & 2.

We have a whole class reading approach to reading in LKS2 where your child will read and experience a range of text types and be answering questions about them.
