"It's a good idea to start with the easiest thing": A study of teachers' perceptions of the "Writing to Read" method.

The aim of this study is to investigate teachers’ experiences of working with Writing to Read (WTR), and their perceptions of how pupils develop in reading and writing when they write on computers or similar devices. Another aim is to study teachers’ motives for using the WTR method. The material used for analysis is four interviews with teachers who use WTR. The result of the analysis shows that the teachers find that the pupils have a greater love of writing and that the teachers chose to work with the method because they want to change how pupils learn to read and write. Another finding is that the teachers feel that pupils with motor difficulties benefit most from working with WTR.
