AnonyMouse_47391 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Hello, I'm new to this site. I am currently doing my dissertation on promoting mark making and writing in a preschool setting. My tutor tells me it is a hot topic , yet I am unable to find anything current in England on this topic. I am sure I'm looking in the wrong place. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thank you
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 National strategies, early mark making. Mark making matters.
AnonyMouse_47391 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 Thank you fredbear. I had looked at mark making matter. I didn't know if there was anything more current. I know my local school has just changed their writing policy to start children on cursive writing, based on current research,which I can't find.
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 What about looking at the write dance model. Will keep searching. Think there is something from Cathy Nutbrown somewhere?
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Hi me again "Threads of Thinking"by Cathy Nutbrown might be worth a look. The work of "schemas" too mentions mark making in its research.
AnonyMouse_47391 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 Thank you fredbear, I'll have a look at those.
AnonyMouse_2418 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I did this as my PBE three years ago for my Foundation degree some of the books I used were Some of the Featherstone books - Make Your Mark ( one of the Little baby books) and Progression in play for babies and young children Mark Making the BAECE leaflets - making their Mark - children's Early Writing Penny Tassoni had also done some articles I found on the TES website - Helping young writers to bloom also found useful quotes in Jenny Lindons book understanding child development which talked about environmental print and links to mark-making. Good luck I really enjoyed researching this topic. :1b

Thank you Sue Cowley has some good books one particularly on mark making for 3-7 year olds
AnonyMouse_47391 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 Thank you everyone. I was really after something from goverment policy or recommendation on writing in the early years.
AnonyMouse_3393 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Shanta69, I am also working on mark making and wondered if you had found any really useful literature? I keep getting way laid! Thank you
AnonyMouse_13401 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Perhaps worth mentioning the political climate! Change to baseline appears to be becoming more formal?Development matters status etc.
