Writing Independence Of A Learner
22. Learner’s emergent
writing is characterized
by playful markings to
communicate
something, which
signals their knowledge
of the uses of written
language before
learning the form.
-Gundlach(1985)
23. Writing
• Self-initiated and self-directed or voluntary, by observing
more skilled others and by participating in literacy events, by
exploring and learned writing through interaction with
literate others. (Bissex, 1980) and (Read, 1975)
24. • The child’s
experimentation with
writing allows him to
construct and refine
the kind of knowledge
about written language
that makes reading
possible.
Writing is always
related to reading and
reading is always
connected to writing.
As the child writes, he
integrates knowledge
of reading with
knowledge of writing.
