Sinopsis

This clear yet authoritative book affirms the vital role of creativity in writing and considers and encourages flexible, innovative practices in teaching. Importantly, the book reflects upon teachersâÇÖ imaginative and artistic involvement in the writing process as role models, collaborators, artists, and as writers themselves. Arguing that childrenâÇÖs creative use of language is key to the development of language and literacy skills, this book focuses on the composition process and how children can express theiráown ideas. In addition, the authors consider the many forms of creative language that influence the inner and outer voice of children, including reading, investigating, talking and engaging in a range of inspiring activities. Illustrated throughout with many examples of childrenâÇÖs writing and drawing,áthis book also providesásuggestions for classroom activities andáis a source of inspiration and practical guidance for any teacher looking to deepen their understanding of literacy theory and practice.
