It is often used as a ‘way in’ to writing activities because it helps to engage and motivate children, but in this article far more fundamental reasons for its use are put forward. Playing with sounds, enacting words, collaborating through drama and then using structures to support writing appear to result in more accomplished pieces of writing. Find out more, and read some of the fascinating work that emerged from using this approach with primary-aged children. |
