The Writing Progression Bundle brings together all four writing progression documents – giving you a clear, continuous journey from preschool to Year 1 (ages 3–6).
Designed in conjunction with @missrdaily an experienced EYFS and KS1 Teacher, this complete toolkit helps you understand how writing develops through play, from those first fine motor foundations to confident, independent sentence writers.
Inside you’ll find progression documents for:
- Preschool (Ages 3–4) – focusing on early mark-making and fine motor control
- Reception – building sound knowledge, stamina, and purpose for writing
- Year 1 – bridging the EYFS and National Curriculum through play-based practice
- Full Overview (12 months–6 years) – showing the bigger picture of writing development across early childhood
Each progression is carefully structured to show what writing looks like in the classroom, linking to key developmental milestones, the EYFS 2021 framework, and Year 1 National Curriculum expectations.
Designed to save hours of planning time, these documents help you:
🧩 Recognise what progress in writing truly looks like
🧩 Spot gaps and plan next steps with confidence
🧩 Embed meaningful writing opportunities in continuous provision
🧩 Support staff in understanding the journey from mark maker to writer
Beautifully designed and editable in MS Word, this bundle makes professional progression easy to share with your team – and even easier to bring to life in your classroom.
