Children write to carry out their communication purposes; write to be published; they write to be read” (lindfors, 2008). jh800680_2 https://padlet.com/jh800680_2/vhyr91p6puxksebo/wish/1790851501 2021-10-04 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jh800680_2/vhyr91p6puxksebo/wish/1790851501 haleygeraghty https://padlet.com/jh800680_2/vhyr91p6puxksebo/wish/1790865900 "Teaching children to write - to express their ideas clearly and creatively, and to find joy in the process - is a complex task. To grow as writers, children need explicit instruction in the craft, mechanics, and process of writing, choice in what to write about, and plenty of time to practice."
