Feb. 27, 2007 - Writing Threshhold
Writing is probably one of the most difficult things to teach and learn (for a child), but I keep trying, take breaks, feel guilty for not teaching, and then make a suggestion to them about an idea I spontaneously received from God. They take the bite and are hooked. My son (who's the most reluctant learner) takes is paper and is off. I've inspired him to connect Science and our study of zoology and turn it into a story of super hero animal tales in 3rd person narrrative type. I don't see him for another 30 + minutes and he returns with a great story and of course some spelling mistakes (his worst subject), but I encourage him and he's so proud. Good for him. It wasn't long ago that he didn't want to write about what I told him. Then we moved from my stale topics to something about spiderman (seemingly not a principled topic) and he ran with that a few times. Now we're making progress and I'm learning how to inspire children in the difficult subjects. It's great. My daughter is the younger and more reluctant writer than my son. Maybe she not ready for writing as much as I think she should. I think God is growing us all!! Raquel

Spiderman worked for my sons too. I do a lot of dictation with my younger boys. They wear me out with Spiderman (especially when describing the weapon inventions).
Have you seen Nurturing the Write Relationship? Its new.
