This book explores what writing for pleasure means, and how it can
be realised as a much-needed pedagogy whose aim is to develop
children, young people, and their teachers as extraordinary and
life-long writers. The approach described is grounded in what
global research has long been telling us are the most effective
ways of teaching writing and contains a description of the authors'
own research project into what exceptional teachers of writing do
that makes the difference. The authors describe ways of building
communities of committed and successful writers who write with
purpose, power, and pleasure, and they underline the importance of
the affective aspects of writing teaching, including promoting in
apprentice writers a sense of self-efficacy, agency,
self-regulation, volition, motivation, and writer-identity. They
define and discuss 14 research-informed principles which constitute
a Writing for Pleasure pedagogy and show how they are applied by
teachers in classroom practice. Case studies of outstanding
teachers across the globe further illustrate what world-class
writing teaching is. This ground-breaking text is essential reading
for anyone who is concerned about the current status and nature of
writing teaching in schools. The rich Writing for Pleasure pedagogy
presented here is a radical new conception of what it means to
teach young writers effectively today.
