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 Zoe's journal and free writing work. Zoe confidently takes chances in writing and works hard to record her ideas, using her own knowledge and sound and alphabet charts for support. She is confident with many beginning and ending consonant sounds and is exploring vowels to make whole words.
