Child-initiated Writing: Exciting Ideas for Engaging Children in the Writing Process

Book Description
This is an inspirational book of ideas and activities that make the process of learning to write not only enjoyable but downright fun! Lynn believes that it’s every practitioner’s dream that a child will independently choose a writing activity without any cajoling or coaxing and she has used these ideas over the years with great success. She clearly demonstrates that writing does not have to happen within the confines of a designated writing book but that the same learning intentions can be met within less formal activities and scenarios. The contents of the book addresses the needs of all practitioners working with children under 6 years of age but is also accessible to childminders and parents.
