MIRIAM RAMZY is an academic who published a paper in 2019 entitled Instruction in the Foundations of Writing: A Case Study of Grade One Gifted Children. MIRIAM RAMZY published this work as part of a team: Ramzy, Miriam. Here is a description of this work: Wri,,ing with paper and pencil continues to be the most common method students use in school to communicate their knowledge. It is a skill that is foundational to generating text for a wide variety of purposes from kindergarten through grade twelve. In this doctoral research, I collaborated with one teacher and her classroom of grade one gifted students for a full school-year. This case study applied a mixed methods approach to data collection and analysis to explore the overarching question, how did an explicit and systematic approach to instruction, following the Handwriting Without Tears and Words Their Way programs, influence grade one gifted children's composition abilities? The findings revealed that handwriting and spelling seemed to improve, as did compositional length. However, instruction in handwriting and spelling did not seem to improv.
