Through a longitudinal analysis of fourteen students’ writing development over five years, we explore how transfer of learning happens and fails to happen. Key findings include that while transfer occurs frequently in our study, 78% of it is invisible to students, and when knowledge is reinforced or expanded, students are more likely to transfer. This study affirms the critical importance of teaching first-year writing but also calls into question how we study, teach, and understand writing transfer.
