Learning to write is like learning to read. Both follow a
sequential process. Writing requires and combines more basic skills
than any other subject area. Taking into account the developmental
stages of children, educators teach writing through a series of steps
that build on a child’s learning experiences.Children are natural-born
writers. Young children are usually eager and willing to scribble their
ideas on paper.The writing process
begins in the early grades by exposing students to a variety of quality
books read aloud. Children see and hear the ways that authors use
language to create and tell a story. Children use the books they hear
and read as models for their own writing.
