Modelling Exciting Writing: A Guide for Primary TeachingADAM BUSHNELL, ROB SMITH AND DAVID WAUGHIn order to teach writing effectively, teachers must be able to model writing effectively to children. This book focuses on writing in different aspects of the curriculum and provides guidance, case studies and theoretical perspectives to show readers how they can become writers with and for children.Children must master the process of composition, redrafting, editing and writing final pieces. Increased emphasis on spelling, punctuation and grammar may leave some teachers and trainee teachers lacking ideas for developing children’s writing beyond transcription and into composition. It is important that they are able to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding, as well as the practical applications of both transcriptional and compositional aspects of writing.
