This volume presents effective instructional programs focused on two perspectives on writing: the teaching and learning of writing as a skill and the use of writing as a learning activity in various school subjects or skills acquisition. It is focused on analysing micro-design features of the programs (such as learning activities, supporting materials, specific strategies, instructional techniques) but also, macro-design rules of intervention programs (such as, instructional sequence, instructional stages) based on research evidence provided for previous studies. This volume goes beyond a practical volume because it provides additional reflection and discussion about theoretical background and empirically based evidence which support the specific intervention programs described. Several chapters in this book include links to an Open Access e-book where teacher and student materials for the authors’ instructional approaches can be found (see ToC).

Note: The volume is completed with an e-book that includes practical examples of the instructional programs and materials of the book intended for teachers, novel researchers and so on. The link to the e-chapter for the applicable book-chapter is given directly below the chapter in the table of contents. There is an additional e-chapter for chapters 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. All e-chapters are available in full Open Access with a CC-BY-NC license on Figshare.
