Interactive writing is a cooperative event in which text is jointly composed and written.
Interactive writing was also included by Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell as part of their balanced literacy framework.
[2] Others have described interactive writing differently as a method used in literacy teaching, especially for young children, whereby the students have the opportunity to practice their reading, studying and writing skills in a safe and creative environment.
In this method the teacher(s) and students write to each other, by means of letters, dialogue journals or a message board.
The aim of this method is to allow children to see literacy as something meaningful and enjoyable, rather than a mind-numbing school activity.
