WRITING

When we encourage young children to think of themeselves as writers, their achievement soars.

"When we invite students to make something with writing instead of just asking them to write, they go about their work differently.As long as let students define what is achievable on their own terms, almost anything is possible.When we give young students an open-endd and ongoing invitation to make books, they build identities as writers around their daily work of composing texts".

A central goal of the writer is to create an effect in someone else's mind.
