In the richly detailed context of play, children do not think, then act, as i planning their play some sequential, deliberate way. Rather, their play activity stems from the creative synergy of the moment. It is shaped by the here and now, the just-previous activity, and all sorts of ideas and notions accrued from past experience.

Writing activities are an essential part of quality literacy practices in early care and education settings.

Writing, like speaking and the creative arts, allows children to actively express themselves and communicate with others.
