Writing Skills

The National Literacy Trust have been busy again, with a new investigation which has concluded that blogging and social networking sites can help improve young people's confidence and enjoyment of writing. The research, which was carried out in May with over 3000 pupils aged 9-16, also explores gender, age differences and the link between socio-economic background and writing.
