Author

Abstract

This book presents 15 essays that consider writing development from many different angles, creating a collage that focuses on how to help students develop into competent writers. The first section of the book consists of four chapters on how to support young writers. In the second section, the essays explore how a variety of issues influence narrative and poetry writing. The third section looks at nonfiction ways to do this kind of writing effectively. The final section considers how to prepare writing to be read by an audience. Essays in Part 1, Supporting the Young Writer, are: (1) "'That's How I Used To Write My Name When I Was Little': Under-Fives Exploring Writing" (Robin Campbell); (2) "Using Nursery Rhymes, Jingles, Songs, and Poems as a Way into Writing" (Janet Evans); (3) "Do You Hear What I Hear?
