Writing

A great deal of literature about writing sees it as closely interconnected with reading and talk. For some important texts, see:

  • Barrs, M. & Cork, V. (2001) The Reader in the Writer, London: CLPE.
  • Bereiter, C. & Scardamalia, M. (1987) The Psychology of Written Composition, Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
  • Cremin, T. M. and Myhill, D. (2011) Writing Voices: Creating Communities of Writers, Abingdon: Routledge.
  • Grainger, T., Goouch, K. & Lambirth, A. (2005). Creativity and Writing: Developing voice and verve in the classroom, London: Routledge.

The books below offer fresh perspectives on writing across the full primary age range and in some cases beyond this:

  • Wyse, D. (2017). How Writing Works: From the invention of the alphabet to the rise of social media. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
  • Bearne, E.  & Wolstencroft, H. (2007) Visual Approaches to Teaching Writing: Multimodal Literacy 5 – 11, London: Sage/UKLA.
  • Fisher, R., Larkin, S., Jones, S. J. and Myhill, D. (2010) Using Talk to Support Writing, London: Sage.
