Summary Note |
"In the 21st century, writing is more important than at any other time in human history. Yet much of the emphasis in schooling has been on reading, and after the early years, writing skills have been given less attention. Internationally, too many children are leaving school without the writing skills they need to succeed in life. The evidence indicates that students rarely develop proficiency as writers at school without effective teacher instruction. 'Teaching writing' offers a comprehensive approach for the middle years of schooling, when the groundwork should be laid for the demanding writing tasks of the senior school and the workplace. 'Teaching writing' outlines evidence-based principles of writing instruction for upper primary students and young adolescents. It presents strategies that are ready for adoption or adaptation, and exemplars to assist with designing and implementing writing lessons across the middle years of school." - Back cover. |
