Synthesizing the breadth of current research on the teaching and learning of writing, the third edition of this definitive handbook has more than 90% new content, reflecting the growth and dynamism of the field. Leading scholars—including many international voices—review major theories, developmental issues, and instructional approaches for students at all grade levels. Cognitive and sociocultural aspects of writing are explored in depth, as are assessment principles and methods. Issues in teaching students with disabilities, multilingual students, and culturally diverse students are addressed. The volume discusses innovative research methods and educational technologies and identifies key directions for future investigation.
