Writing Process and Progress: Where Do We Go from Here?

Hilton, Mary

English in Education, v35 n1 p4-11 Spr 2001

Examines the rationale behind the British government's method for raising standards in writing at Key Stage 2, noting a renewed drive to teach discreet units of sentence grammar and a fresh commitment to shared and guided writing. Argues that these new measure ignore research on the ways children learn to write and will not lead to a rise in standards. (SR)
