18. Think about writing
Writing is a phyiscal skill and a
language skill.
- Writing comes after other
skills.
- It’s more important that
children try to communicate
than correct their mistakes.
- Praise and respect all
efforts.
When children are preparing to
write they need…
- Support and preparation
before they write.
- To listen to you.
- To talk and comment.

19. CONCLUSION
 Writing is related to the
other skills (listening,
reading…) and for its
development it’s
necessary that pupils
know how to use it in
the appropriate way.
