This is a practical session containing ideas, strategies and resources designed to inform the process of transition, specifically in the English classroom. Many of these strategies are applicable across subjects and could form part of any robust literacy education, ensuring pupils’ progress in KS3 continues from their KS2 endpoints thus maximising outcomes.

• The differences between KS2 and KS3 for stakeholders
• Is pedagogy the same at KS2 and KS3?
• Language comprehension vs Word recognition
• What the phonics are you on about?
• How does joint planning help plan a scheme of work in KS3?
• Fostering links to prepare Year 6 pupils with experiential learning opportunities that will prepare them for
the demands of English in Year 7.
