Quote:
'Provide
a variety of writing materials: different thicknesses of pen and crayon
and pencil, scraps of computer paper, tiny notebooks, real exercise books,
and coloured paper and leave them lying around so that children can draw,
or draw/write, or pretend to write, or really write anything from notices
for their bedroom doors, to shopping lists, letters to grandparents, complaints
to parents, requests to Santa, and so on. It is tremendously important
for the recognition of letters, and the relationship of those letters to
sounds, that children should grapple with their own print as early as possible.
Reading and writing go hand in hand: each depends upon, and improves the
other, in a cycle of development.'
