Description

First published in 1982 and revised extensively, this influential text examines what children learn when acquiring writing skills and what the process reveals about children, society and ourselves. Based on close analysis of written texts by primary school children, the book serves as an essential resource for student teachers with limited linguistics background. Gunther Kress's revised edition incorporates recent developments in linguistics and education, adopting a social semiotic theoretical framework that provides contemporary insights into how writing development shapes and reflects social understanding. The book combines practical classroom examples with accessible theoretical grounding, making it invaluable for understanding child writing acquisition.

Key Features

Learning to Write offers analysed examples of primary school children's written texts that illustrate real writing development patterns and stages.

The Routledge edition incorporates Gunther Kress's extensive revisions reflecting current linguistic theory and educational research.

This classic text uses a social semiotic approach to explain how writing connects to broader social and cultural contexts in child development.

Designed for student teachers and trainee educators with no prior linguistics knowledge, the book makes complex writing theory accessible and practical.
