In this study, it is aimed to examine the work titled "The Book of Anatolian Young", which was prepared for the purpose of giving lessons to students studying in ibtidâî schools, within the framework of today's Turkish writing education. For this purpose, this book, which was prepared by Mehmet Asım Us and Ahmet Cevat Emre, who were famous educators and writers of the period, and printed for the first time in 1917 in Matbaa-i Âmire, was printed in Orhaniye Matbaası in 1922 in order to include the updates in the following process in our study. In this study, which we have limited according to certain criteria, document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used and the data obtained were analyzed by descriptive analysis method and the similarities and differences between the literature of the two periods were determined after placing them under the subheadings they correspond to today. In the study, findings such as the importance of writing education, the basic structure of writing education, the stages of the writing process, the elements of written expression, writing methods and techniques, the types of texts used in writing education were investigated and the place of these elements of writing education in today's writing education was examined. In the study, it was determined that there are some elements of writing education that are not used today but are included in the work, that most of the information given about writing education is still valid today, that the process-based approach is used in writing education along with the product-based approach, and that the rules of the language are given in detail. Since these books give great importance to practice, using the language well and teaching the rules of the language, it is thought that the examination of the book will contribute to writing education.
