The ‘Reactive writer’ is one who wants to move, touch, talk and play in order to understand, develop and establish the vocabulary, sounds and actions which can be used, once played through. It was for writers such as these children that the Play-talk-think-write Boxes were originally invented. Reactive writers’ stories will often range across mythical and fantasy settings, with lots of action and sound effects represented. A reflective writer is likely to begin writing more quickly, drawing from ideas already accessible in her/his mind and often drawn from domestic scenes or fairy tale-based scenarios. It is important that teachers enable both kinds of writers to work in their own styles and gain the satisfaction of completing their stories. It is also important to remember that many children will have elements of both reactive and reflective writers.
