Teaching modeling, sharing, tutoring, and working with children on their writing has been explored in England's recent National Literacy Strategy publications. These guidelines, produced in collaboration with Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), suggest ways of analyzing children's writing to obtain more diagnostic information about either an individual's or groups of children's writing. This guideline approach encourages identification of strengths and weaknesses at a detailed level. The guidelines document is divided into the following parts: Marking Individual Pieces of Writing; Findings from English Tests 2000; Analysing Children's Writing; Using the Analyses; The Writing Analysis Sheet; and Children's Non Fiction Writing Analysed. The Writing Analysis Sheet can be used and adapted by classroom teachers. (NKA)
