Thank you so much for your reply - it's good to see how different people approach it.
With regards to learning to write, I am not sure whether I needed to start from the very basics, as in describing how we encourage children in mark making activities such as making marks in shaving foam or sand, then onto how they start to give meaning to what they have drawn (even if we cant decipher what it is), letting them make marks to music etc. Then onto how they mimic adults, for example they may have scribbled marks on paper but say "I have wrote you a letter, I have made a shopping list".
All this comes before they even start to begin to form recognisable letters. Do you think I should include this or just say how they start to learn to write ?
Hope this makes sense ??? What I am meaning is - how far back do I go in saying how children learn to write ???
