Early writing is a critical part of emergent literacy, yet early childhood education often emphasizes transcription skills such as handwriting mechanics and spelling rather than meaning-making aspects of writing, such as composition. During this presentation, Dr. Margaret Quinn will focus on strategies for supporting and assessing young children’s writing, specifically composing skills, highlighting the importance of fostering these skills at an early age. By providing meaningful writing opportunities, like those explored in this presentation, teachers can elevate children’s writing abilities, build motivation and interest, and lay essential foundations for later literacy development. Attendees will gain insights into practical approaches that encourage children to write and foster a positive writing environment in the classroom.

Margaret F. Quinn is an Associate Professor at the Texas A & M University, College of Education & Human Development, in the department of Teaching, Learning and Culture: https://directory.education.tamu.edu/view/1770
