Document Summary
Considers why we write, needs and interests of audience. Children don"t have as much to write as they don"t have as much knowledge. Kids use a knowledge-telling strategy, which is writing things down as they. Things like punctuation, spelling and letter formation are a burden for young writers so. Young kids don"t/can"t revise and if they do the revisions don"t improve the writing. When you are older you are better able to organize information and use a knowledge-transforming strategy, when you actively decide what information is. Skilled writing develops very gradually as it is a very complex activity. Improvements are traced to a number of factors. Greater knowledge and access to knowledge about topics. Greater understanding of how to organize writing remember it important and where it should be organized in the writing.
