There are many methods that can be implemented to develop and improve the writing skills of children.
1. Give daily tasks for writing and stress that good, and clear writing will be greatly rewarded. Asking the students to write a relatively small amount of words on a specific subject every day could be helpful. These brief writing sessions, when combined with home assignments and exams, will assure you that their writing is always practiced.
2. Most successful writers are keen readers. Making the students understand the importance of everyday reading, and the link between reading and writing could help in developing writing skills. A good way is to give them clear instructions and reading material like a list of books, articles, or essays, and give specific and clear indications so that they can re-write them in their own words.
However, there are a few limitations to these methods. The main ones are - The teachers must spend many hours reading the content of each student. The analyzing scales may not be sensitive enough to measure growth in students with emerging literacy skills who are unable to achieve a good rating.
