Elements of good instruction
• An environment that supports writing (with space for children to
write and the tools to do so)
• Teachers who read with a ‘writer’s eye’ (so they can point out strategies
that young writers used effectively)
• Teachers who model good instruction (so children will see how one goes
about writing)

(praise the expressive aspect of the task, while helping
the child form letters and write accurately and well)
