This report, based upon a two-year study of one group of children in a classroom environment, focuses upon an early period of writing development in which many ‘unconventional’ punctuation behaviours occur. It describes a range of types of unconventional punctuation and assigns to thema common underlying principle, that of using punctuation according to graphic principles rather than linguistic principles as is the case in conventional punctuation. The report identifies and examines a range of factors which have a significant influence on both the adoption and persistence of graphic punctuation: teacher language, models of punctuation in children’s books, the comprehensibility of graphic principles relative to linguistic principles; teachers’ responses to children’s punctuation, and the dominance of visuality in early literacy learning.
