**NEW** Year 7-9 Progression Pack

£25.00

C25K Writing works best when it is taught as a sequence, not a set of one-off lessons. This pack gives your department that sequence: what to teach in every half term of Key Stage 3, week by week, and how it sits beside the texts you already teach.

Students learn the nine Deconstructed Essay sentences (DE1 to DE9) and the 30 creative sentences (CS 1 to 30), with no more than one new essay sentence and two creative sentences in any half term. Everything taught earlier is kept alive through retrieval practice, so by the end of Year 9 students can write whole analytical essays with control and independence.

  • Editable. Progression Word document, so you can adapt it to your school.

  • Licence: one teacher. Please don't share the files with colleagues or upload them to shared drives or resource sites.

  • The approach is explained in full in Writing Fitness: From Beginner to 5K by David Didau and Rikki Cole.
