Regarding class transovers, there is a common problem when teachers of the first grade take over a new class. The problem is that the new teachers do not receive enough information about the pupils’ earlier knowledge from their development in school. It is also known that the writing education is one of the most important duties for teachers to teach pupils. The ability of writing thoughts into words is a source of communication between the writer and the reader. An undeveloped writing ability will cause a lack of communication for the pupils. The purpose of this study is to examine how individualizing is done at the transitions from pre-school to first grade. The study also explores how and with which methods teachers work with an individualized writing education in the subject Swedish in first grade. The study will also examine the possibilities and difficulties that can occur at an individualized writing education. I prepared three following questions to answer the aim of this study: How does the individualizing in class transfers look like from pre-school to first grade? How and with which methods teachers individualize the writing education in first grade? Which possibilities and difficulties can occur with an individualized writing education? The study is based on interviews with four pre-school teachers and four first grade teachers to get answers for this study’s aim. The study is also based on theories about transfers and individualized education. The results showed that pre-school teachers and first grade teachers do not have a clue about how the other teacher works with the pupils. The study shows that first grade teachers do not receive the information they need to individualize the education for the pupils. The results also show that all the teachers have a positive attitude to individualizing in the education, but are unable to plan individualized lessons and assignments for each student because of their lack of time and big classes.
