There is more evidence indicating learners transfer words, content and structure
from their reading to use in writing. Corden (2000) argues that "interactive discourse"
impacts on learners' reading-writing connection. He illustrates how children are able
to discuss and evaluate texts and to transfer the knowledge and insights gained to their
own writing. Through "interactive discourse", learners' attention was called to
particular story elements of setting, characters, plot, and style. As a result, children
develop their awareness of how texts are constructed and eventually transfer their
knowledge and understanding to their writing.
