CONSOLIDATION OF WRITING SKILLS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

Writing is the activity of putting or sequencing letters or symbols to form words.Consolidation is to make stronger or more stronger to combine more single items to make a unity.
Basically teaching and learning of writing is concerned with two major things,thus automation and shaping of letters in developing children. This skills are very important as part of consolidating writing in the primary educatin.Think of the letters and write them . In this case children need to read then transcribe letters and sound them.In writing children need to make use of letters ,words and phrases.Because of this assumption it has being noted that writing lessons are given a lesser opportunity.
However the research has picked writing means grammar . This means that subject verb agreement is best noted in writing than in spoken language. The correct use of pronouns ,prepositions ,tenses is best elaborated in writing than when one speaking.
When speaking some broken language can sound correct . Things like correct puntuation is best elaborated on piece of written work(text).If a child is able to write correctly normally that child is able to read and comprehend correctly. This means that this kind of a learner has the ability to write a good composition and is also good in comprehension.
In teaching of writing the teacher must be clear on the methods and techniques. Written language is more clearer and expressive .It should always consists of the correct grammar. The teacher therefore must teach pupils inorder to be able to write and identify the correct grammartical sentences. The teacher must also help pupils to write correct sentences ,correct phrases formation and correct story formation.
The teacher should take into consideration that writing is a process when teaching writing seriously and can't taught once its a gradual continuous process.
The writing lessons on teaching how to write must differ on texts ,for example letter writing,reports,informative knowledge and composition writing. This is important taking into idea that primary school children don't know how to write and what to write.
Hence the primary school teacher should give children a good foundation of writing that :
•help them shape letters,
•word formation, and
•consolidation of senses to form meaning.
What the teacher should look when teaching writing are capping of letters,forming phrases form meaning and shaping letters

Points to note:
In the teaching of writing the teacher should plan written work,vary it,long exercise ,differ aspects of language ,give correct grammar and mark the work.
Now go through the exercise below to test whether can able to make it correct.
CORRECT THE FOLLOWING EXERCISE
(1)Where where you on monday.
(2)we was eating when it started raining.
(3)After passing my examinations I am gone to college.
(4)Grandma always was tolding from to the child.
(5)It is far much better to to read at night than at in the afternoon.
These are some of the grammatical mistakes found in the classroom situation.
