Writing is a powerful means in mastering a foreign language. Underestimation of writing leads to poor results in language learning. Throughout the language experience writing offers a means for ensuring total participation on an individual basis in developing and improving his skills of listening, understanding, reproducing and improvising.

Writing has become an indispensable component of modern society.

For younger students learning English writing teacher should have a set of cards with a graphic symbol of letters and their phonetic image. In step of learning words the teacher should use cards of difficult words, which writing differs from the general rule. It is recommended to have a separate notebook to record new words and vocabulary notebook for dictation.

To develop the skill of writing must constantly consolidate the skill of graphic perception of words by repeatedly re-record them in homework and in class.

Writing involves:

1) The ability to shape letters of the alphabet (graphics).

2) Knowledge of the right combinations of letters (spelling).

3) Skill in expressing oneself through the written word (composition).

A pupil learns to write correctly and freely:

a) by encountering correct forms of language;

b) by imitating correct forms of language;

c) by practising certain forms of language;

d) by consciously analyzing certain faults of language he makes and consciously trying to eliminate these faults;

e) by awareness of certain rules which describe how the language works.

It is advisable to introduce a graphical image of a word, without writing it in the form of individual parts of lexical units throughout the lesson, as it dissipates student's attention and concentration, prevents memory. New vocabulary is introduced on the basis of advanced training. The whole block of new vocabulary is introduced during a lesson on the basis of subject-visual aids. Students recite the words and use them in constructions such as phrases and sentences, read them from the board, looking through the text in the textbook. When the oral form of the word is completely mastered by students they can go to its graphic development. At the end of the lesson it is advisable to write down new words in the dictionary and a notebook to write home assignment as a line of new words. At the initial stage of training it can be offered to students not only to write the new words but draw pictures on the subject as well. Elementary school students may draw up a new word in a large stylized letters, filling the interior part of the letters with colored patterns or strokes. Such work allows you to turn the work over the new vocabulary in an exciting creative game that encourages individual characteristics of each young student. Currently, there are a number of views and approaches to the introduction of new words when it is used to introduce new words without translating them by mastering a new language based on an object or intuitive meaning. Practice shows that the lack of graphic support does not allow the student especially of primary school age to remember and to fix spelling during their homework. The absence of recording a new word in the glossary often leads to gaps in the assimilation of new vocabulary. The vast majority of younger students like to write new words and structures with them, since it allows them to experience their language use. Teacher has to remember about the proper dosage of homework not to turn the process of learning a new vocabulary in mechanical rewriting of words. Teaching writing requires a few steps. The preliminary stage of preparation for the writing of the letter is the training elements of letters. This can be a letter in the air, tracing elements of certain letters, the classification of letters by the presence of the same elements, the game "Find out the letter by the element."

Stage 1 Sentence construction. At this stage, students learn the order of words in simple grammatical sentence. This work may take the form of completing sentences, answers to the questions, the connection of simple sentences into complex.

Stage 2 Paragraph writing. Several sentences linked together form a paragraph. Students learn to combine simple sentences into a coherent story. Well-written story should contain some correct sentences, which give an idea about the purpose and theme of the utterance.

Stage 3 Continuous compositions. Two or more paragraphs logically linked make a composition.
