Stages of Children's Writing
Children learn about writing by observing people who already know how and by participating with those people in simple writing experiences. Parents and older siblings serve as models for children, showing them what writers do.
Children are more likely to want to communicate in writing if they grow up in a home where they see you writing, the more inclined they are to want to write.
As children begin “writing” they may use drawing, scribbling, or invented letters and spelling to express themselves. These are legitimate forms of early writing and to be encouraged!!!
