Synopsis

This is an inspirational book of ideas and activities that make the
process of learning to write not only enjoyable but downright fun! Lynn
believes that it's every practitioner's dream that a child will
independently choose a writing activity without any cajoling or coaxing
and she has used these ideas over the years with great success. She clearly demonstrates that writing does not have to happen
within the confines of a designated writing book but that the same
learning intentions can be met within less formal activities and
scenarios. The contents of the book addresses the needs of all
practitioners working with children under 6 years of age but is also accessible to childminders and parents.
