Let’s get them writing – Five suggestions for teaching writing in the early years

Literacy | Writing

Let’s get them writing suggests five different strategies which can be employed to get children writing in the early years.

The strategies include:

• Class news – transforming the show and tell session into a focussed literacy teaching episode,
• Diary writing – giving children a purpose for writing through written conversations with the teacher,
• Transforming sentences – targeting sentence structure and adding interest to writing,
• Caption books – easy repetitive texts to get children started – great for photo books,
• Innovating on poems and songs – building on familiar structures to create original works.
