Abstract or Description

This article explores the ways in which writing for pleasure can be nurtured by teachers, with a specific focus upon English teachers. It is a review of Real-World Writers: A Handbook for Teaching Writing with 7-11 Year Olds by Ross Young and Felicity Ferguson which I published in the National Association of English Teachers’ Teaching English Magazine in 2022. For me, it’s more than a review because in my critique of the book, I outline a key element of effective writing pedagogy: namely that teachers themselves should be writers.
