Writing Instruction in Kindergarten

Examining an Emerging Area of Research for Children with Writing and Reading Difficulties

Lana Edwards

Lehigh University, lle{at}lehigh.edu

This review examines the literature on how to teach kindergarten children with reading and writing difficulties how to write. Specifically, research on handwriting instruction, spelling instruction, and composition writing is discussed. Due to the limited number of empirical studies on writing that included kindergarten students with diagnosed reading and writing difficulties, selected studies conducted with the full range of kindergarten children, as well as studies conducted in the early elementary grades, are presented to highlight future directions for research.
