‘WRITING FOR CHILDREN UNDER NEW CURRICULUM’
- By Stanley Mushava, October 2016
Primary and Secondary Education Ministry Dr Lazarus Dokora has insisted that the process underway is bent on making a new curriculum rather than making an old curriculum new.

“If you are going to write for children, you need to become a child yourself. Think like them, observe things from their perspective and watch how they react to particular words,” children’s writer Jenny Yon explains her approach to writing textooks.
“Otherwise, you will be only writing down at them instead of writing to them.” It is the insight which has guided Yon through the creation of her densely circulated English and Maths textbook series for both the primary and the secondary level. The highly regarded writer’s best-known publish credits include New Zimbabwe Primary English, Structures and Skills.
