One of the great privileges of working in primary education is that you witness the emergence of young children’s writing and observe as they develop in confidence and find their own writer’s voice.
Whenever I am struck by the glorious readability of a child’s writing, I recognise the hallmarks of an independent reader – a child who has learned to manipulate their reader, entertain them or provoke a reaction has surely been acquiring those skills from their reading diet.
Reading different types of texts – whether it is stories, poems, or information books – ensures children become familiar with various styles of writing.
