Transition to Writing: Drawing as a Scaffold for Emergent Writers.
Oken-Wright, Pam
Young Children, v53 n2 p76-81 Mar 1998
Presents strategies for using children's drawing as scaffolding for early writing: (1) paving the way with drawing (talking about drawing, asking the right questions, social context); and (2) getting stories into writing (supporting children just learning what letters look like, with a good mental image of some letters, who can write most letters, or who know some letter sounds).
