Writing development in early schooling can reveal much about the bigger picture of writing development. As any epoch in life, it presents its own dynamics that intersect with wider social, psychological, and language processes; follows on early epochs; and leads to later accomplishments. In addition, it is particularly strategic to untangle complex relations between technical and communicative abilities, and between curriculum and personal development. But to untangle these puzzles, we need to be careful in not assuming particular solutions implied in our terms. To place the studies here and elsewhere in relation to the broader and more complex investigation of writing development, this essay interrogates each term in the thematic title of this special issue.

早期教育中的写作发展可以揭示写作发展的大局。正如生活中的任何时代一样，它呈现出与更广泛的社会、心理和语言过程相交的动态；紧随早期时代；并导致后来的成就。此外，解开技术和交流能力之间以及课程和个人发展之间的复杂关系尤其具有战略意义。但要解开这些谜团，我们需要小心，不要假设我们的术语中隐含的特定解决方案。为了将这里和其他地方的研究与更广泛、更复杂的写作发展调查相关联，本文对本期特刊的主题标题中的每个术语进行了询问。
