Introduction

This book brings together a collection of essays on the teaching of writing. It is a companion to Prue Goodwin’s The Literate Classroom and The Articulate Classroom and aims to:

Objectives

  • augment our existing knowledge about the teaching and learning of writing
  • stimulate thought and provoke discussion about writing
  • offer a blend of theory and practice
  • give food for thought and ideas for teaching writing to primary age children.

Discussion

The topic of writing is one which is under the spotlight with increasing regularity as politicians and policy makers move on from reading as an issue. This has already happened in England where the National Literacy Strategy is urging more emphasis on the teaching of writing to remedy weaknesses in this area.
