Abstract	Based on the assumption that, when learning to write, the child must learn to build significant idea-content to communicate and to translate ideas into written material, this book examines the content phase of writing, the craft phase of writing, and the means of effecting a merger of content with craft. The first chapter affirms the central position of ideas in both functional and imaginative writing, classifies the idea-content of writing as reflective, conceptual, projective, and expressive, and describes the thinking processes; the second chapter identifies first hand experience as a source of ideas for written expression; the third chapter proposes ideas for written expression which can be triggered by structured activities; chapter four is devoted to the many ways in which children may record ideas; the organization of witten composition is the focus of chapter five; chapter six includes suggestions for helping children select and use words effectively; the seventh chapter deals with revision as a necessary part of writing; chapter eight discusses ways of merging content and craft in poetry; and the content and craft of writing prose are discussed in chapter nine.
