Check out this essay by Andrew Pudewa on teaching writing. I've been perusing his site, which I find very interesting, and was struck by this common-sense view of how to encourage children to develop good writing skills. I'm especially pleased that he managed to drag in most of my favorite writers of educational philosophy: Dorothy Sayers, Maria Montessori, Glenn Doman, and Arthur Robinson by name—and John Holt is well represented, though anonymously.
