About the research
This is an expanded repeat of a
project funded by EEF in 2012 which was found to have a whole class impact of 2
months’ progress. Grammar for Writing is an approach to the
teaching of writing which supports young writers in understanding the
relationship between the language choices they make and how they shape meanings
in their writing. We call this Choice and Control because that is what it
sets out to achieve.
