‘Writing For Pleasure is a volitional act of writing undertaken for
enjoyment and satisfaction. Therefore, a Writing For Pleasure
pedagogy is any research-informed pedagogy which seeks to
create the conditions in which writing and being a writer is a
pleasurable and satisfying experience.’ (Young & Ferguson, 2021)
Writing for pleasure is a vital consideration when teaching young
writers. The specific sources of enjoyment and satisfaction in and
of writing are many and varied, and will be different for individual
writers in different contexts. This webinar will explore a range of
meaningful and practical opportunities to support and increase
writing for pleasure practices in the senior primary classroom while
fostering the agency, volition and motivation of young writers. This
webinar is suited to teachers across stages 3 – 4.
