Children become “ready” to write by doing, not by waiting. Writing readiness grows through:
Exploration of different tools and surfaces
Frequent mark-making opportunities
“They’re not ready to write”
If children are denied writing opportunities until they appear “ready”, they may miss vital stages of development and lose confidence.
Play-based writing experiences
Large and small movements
Key Message for staff
Children become ready to write by being allowed to write in their own way.
