This work explores the potential relationship between young children's socio-dramatic play and the development of writing. The authors show how the purposeful and authentic nature of play experiences offers a perfect location for the meaningful experience of writing and the exploration of a wide variety of forms of text. Case studies of children and their work are included, so that the reader can see how children from three to eight develop competence as writers.

"This book will gladden the hearts of many early years teachers who believe that good, sound learning is gained through play; a word much used but not always taken seriously by those who do not teach young children.This is an excellent book for teachers and student teachers, combining practical information with humor about play and its effects on children's writing.."
