As emergent writers, we are always taking risks in writing. We are experimenting with sounds and letter formations, as well as pencil grip and different writing tools. As the year continues we are learning to make more and more letter and sound connections to express our ideas through writing. In our journals we do our best to add labels, descriptions, or short stories to our drawings. We also participate in free writing sessions where we write whatever we want for one to two minutes and use the writing centre and class mailbox to communicate through writing during free play.
Here is some of Denzil's journal and free writing work. Denzil confidently takes chances in writing and works hard to record his ideas, using his own knowledge and sound and alphabet charts for support. His journal work shows that he can correctly identify many beginning and ending consonant sounds as well as some vowels. He is having fun experimenting with directionality and spacing. Keep it up Denzil!
