2. Make writing a part of daily routines and activities.
What to Do:
- Provide multiple opportunities daily for both functional and creative writing
- Assess the child’s sensory, physical, cognitive, and language needs to determine the most functional method of writing and what supports may be needed for each task
- Present each task in a consistent manner
Things to Consider:
- Have you thought about how to include writing tasks as part of existing daily activities?
- Have you added new opportunities if current opportunities are limited?
- Are you being a good writing model by allowing the child to see or feel you writing as you talk about what you are doing and why?
- How can you use the child’s writing throughout the day so that it is seen as important and purposeful?
