Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(4 pp) Today, we think of teaching writing as a
process of "scaffolding'" or supporting
children's language development in ways that
broaden the writer's expressive possibilities,
deepen his/her understanding of written language
and text, and socialize the young writer into the
role of literate adult. It is our responsibility
and challenge to initiate prospective teachers, as
well as ourselves, who may not have been taught
writing in this way, into the problems and
possibilities of teaching the writing process
inventively and meaningfully. Bibliography
lists 5 sources.
