WRITTING
Why do we write?
People write for a variety of reasons. For some, it is a career; for others, a hobby. Some write because it helps them to sort out their feelings. Some have a story to tell. And some write because nothing in the world makes them happier.
How does writting begin?
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or
symbols (known as a writing system).It is distinguished from illustration, such as cave drawing and painting, and non-symbolic preservation of language via non-
textual media, such as magnetic tape audio.It also refers to the creation of meaning and the
information thereby generated.
The major writing systems broadly fall into four categories:
IDEOGRAPHYSYLLABARYALPHABETIC
FEATURAL
Ideography is a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept.
Syllabary is a set of written symbols that represent syllables,
which make up words.
AlphabetThe word "alphabet" came into Middle English from the
Late Latin word Alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Ancient Greek Αλφάβητος Alphabetos, from alpha and
beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.Alpha and beta in turn came from the first two letters of the
Phoenician alphabet, and meant ox and house respectively and the first three letters of the Arabic language "Alef, أ",
"Ba, ب", and "Ta, ت". There are dozens of alphabets in use today, the most common being Latin,deriving from the first
true alphabet, Greek
The history of the alphabet started in ancient Egypt. By the 27th century BCE Egyptian writing had a set of some 24 hieroglyphs which are called
uniliterals,to represent syllables that begin with a single consonant of their language, plus a vowel (or no vowel) to be supplied by the native speaker. Most alphabetic scripts of India and Eastern Asia are descended from the
Brahmi Script, which is often believed to be a descendent of Aramaic.
BRAHMI SCRIPT
A featural alphabet is an alphabet wherein the shapes of the letters are not arbitrary, but encode
phonological features of the phonemes they represent. The term featural was introduced by
Geoffrey Sampson to describe Hangul[1] and Pitman Shorthand
ANCIENT WRITTING
A writing system as a set of visible or tactile signs used to represent units of language in a systematic way. This simple
explanation encompasses a large spectrum of writing systems with vastly different stylistic and structural
characteristics spanning across the many regions of the globe. In past centuries, scientists had used writing as one of the "markers" of civilization. While it is true that writing
systems appear to develop in agricultural and urban cultures, by no means it is a requirement for civilization.
Because writing is so intricate there has been many explanations concerning the origins of writing, from
mythological to scientific.

Stages of Writing Development
These stages represent a way of looking at writing development in children. All stages overlap and children progress and reach writing
stages at many different ages. The development of early writing skills is another aspect of your child's emergent literacy development. Regardless
of which stage your child is at, writing development can be enhanced through being encouraged to write on a regular basis. Children should
never be discouraged from exploring writing by the means they are able to do, whether it be scribbling, letter strings, invented spelling, or
conventional spelling.
Stage Example
Preliterate: Drawing
•uses drawing to stand for writing •believes that drawings / writing is communication of a purposeful message •read their drawings as if there were writing on them
Stage Example
Preliterate: Scribbling
• scribbles but intends it as writing •scribbling resembles writing •holds and uses pencil like an adult
Stage Example
Early Emergent: Letter-like forms
•shapes in writing actually resemble letters •shapes are not actually letters •look like poorly formed letters, but are unique creations
Stage Example
Emergent: Random-letters or letter strings
uses letter sequences perhaps learned from his/her name may write the same letters in many ways long strings of letters in random order
Stage Example
Transitional: Writing via invented spelling
• creates own spelling when conventional spelling is not known •one letter may represent an entire syllable •words may overlay •may not use proper spacing •as writing matures, more words are spelled conventionally •as writing matures, perhaps only one or two letters invented or omitted
Stage Example
Fluency: Conventional spelling
•usually resembles adult writing
