Jot Down Early Voices
- For beginning writers, act as their secretary: jot down their oral stories and read them back.
- Let children experience themselves as authors before they can read or write independently.
Make Jotting Delightful
- Make jotting-it-down delight-based and pressure-free, offering varied writing tools and surfaces.
- Give access to materials and transcription so children recognize the writer within themselves.
Partner With Emerging Writers
- In the partnership stage, join your child as a co-writer and share vocabulary and transcription.
- Participate in spelling, punctuation, and phrasing instead of treating help as cheating.
