Why A Blog About Little Independent Writers?

"Little Independent Writers" is a blog where educators, parents, and other interested parties, can dialogue concerning how to create, mold, shape, and support little writers for a life time of independence and success, while supporting each other in accomplishing this goal.  Often for young children, writing is the last language domain to be acquired, because of its complex process and need for well developed fine motor skills, or development of tiny muscles in the hands. Speaking, listening, and reading, usually are acquired first which are also much easier to teach, maybe because they come more naturally for most people. It is my hope that we can share ideas to not only help develop little independent writers, but also lead them to succeed, as they become life long learners, and we become more effective teachers.
