Introduction
Throughout the world spoken language has been the original form of communication. People have been using verbal dialogue to communicate for millions of years where as writing is the more recent form of communicating with one another. It is unclear how spoken language was first used yet writing was invented by Sumerians around 3200 B.C (Bright, 2012). Spoken language is still the primary means of communicating in today’s society however written language also plays an important role (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014). As the world progressed more languages both written and spoken began to develop. In today’s world the English language alone has its own varieties and dialects based on its primary country.

They prepare formal talking points to teach a specific topic. Topics stem from children’s interests. Formal discussions occur at story time (Fellowes & Oakley, 2011).
Writing in Long Day Care
In LDC writing is used formally to communicate between parents and educators. Educators carefully construct set writing pieces with a purpose to inform parents about their children’s daily activities. This could be in the form of a daily program or an individual learning story. A learning story is used to communicate with a parent about their child’s individual development therefore it includes a subject matter, the roles of the children involved and the mode of communication used between the participants(Ljungdahl & March, 2014).
Children first learn about writing when they interact with educators and parents. In LDC children are exposed to story books and other written texts. Educators read stories aloud to c expose children to correct grammar and sentence structure. Children’s writing emerges as they taught to recognise their name. Children are first taught phonological awareness and how to pronounce their name correctly (Fellowes & Oakley, 2011).

Children are social beings and use spoken language to communicate with each other. Through social conversations children share and seek information. They also begin to form ideas, opinions, needs and attitudes (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014).
Writing in the Primary Classroom
Written language skills are being taught in the primary classroom. Written language is used formally to teach children. Written language can be modelled on a visual board, used independently in homework and feedback, or through learnt through discussions.
Children develop their literacy skills in the form of reading and writing. It would be impossible for children to learn to write without learning to read first. Writing skills will also enhance children’s reading skills (Fellowes & Oakley, 2011).
In the primary classroom children are exposed to a variety of writing experiences every day. Children’s writing skills emerge as they are given opportunities to develop skills in graphophonics, text organisation, punctuation and sentence knowledge. Teachers also improve children’s writing skills by modelling, sharing, guiding and giving independent writing time (Fellowes & Oakley, 2011).
