How to Teach Writing to Primary Children

By Kathy Price Establish a creative learning environment for young writers.


For most children, the foundation to literacy is laid long before they arrive at school. Teaching writing to primary school-age children is especially important to establish a strong foundation. Classroom tone is very significant. Instead of approaching writing as an isolated lesson, integrating writing with other educational disciplines contributes to keeping writing fresh and meaningful. Language-rich environments stimulate good writing skills and imaginative resources offer young children incentive in learning to write.
