In this work we study the history of the process of learning to write from an insider’s
perspective (Olson & Bruner, 1996). Although literacy acquisition has deserved
plenty of attention from developmental and educational research, little is known
about how children who are learning to write conceive of their progress in this key
area of learning. Knowledge of the aspects that, according to children, change with
learning may offer access to children’s tacit learning-to-write curriculum that guides
their learning efforts and self-evaluation standards
