Abstract
Voice and knowledge are inmately connected. Learning to write gives us voice beyond the range of
hearing and takes the adventure of language across me and distance, placing us in social worlds and
social projects with people we cannot see and somemes cannot even imagine. While early childhood
literacy educaon, helps young children express themselves and grow the move to write out of per-
sonal and play relaons, as schooling connues those movang experiences decreases and wring
becomes a narrow exercise mostly associated with assessment rather than accomplishing real life in-
terests. Yet wring outside of school is inmately related to parcipang in society, and skill in wring
gives one voice in professional and civic communies. Wring in school needs to be connected to real
life uses and intellectual growth of students. Wring should be supported at each level of educaon, ex-
press and share meanings of importance to students, connected with thinking and knowledge is subject
areas, connected with reading, and address situaons outside of school important to students.
Keywords: Thinking, Literacy, Learning, Language.
