Ready Steady Write EYFS (Literacy Counts) Ready Steady Write is an evidence-based primary writing scheme for EYFS-KS2. Built around high-quality, language-rich literature, it provides a structured and sequenced approach that develops confident, independent writers across all year groups. Writing units are carefully mapped to the National Curriculum to ensure consistent progression from early years through to Y6. It’s designed to meet the needs of all learners – including EAL, SEND and the lowest 20% – through adaptive teaching and a clear writing journey. ESSENTIALWRITING for Early Years (HFL Education) This resource links the developmental milestones needed to prepare and motivate children to experience the joy of writing. It offers a balance between child-led and adult-inspired activities to ensure children can build the skills to see themselves as communicators, mark-makers and, ultimately, writers. “The reflection toolkit allowed us to assess our current practice and identify areas for improvement” “ “We loved this!
