She's just gone 11 now but your description of Emily could have been Girl 2 at the same age! Girl 2 never stops writing now, it's amazing to see notebooks filled with stories, she did little bits over time when she felt like it and it built up until there was no stopping her, i'm sure emily will be the same,I did exactly the same as you and got her to dictate stories so she wouldn't be so frustrated, she would dictate some then write a little until it was less dictating and all her own writing.Emily's lucky that she came out of school at a younger age than Girl 2 so she's in a supportive environment so the writing will come, there's no rush and no need to do it to order for the teacher either, I guess the main challenge is actually dealing with her frustration in the meantime and saving your furniture! <BR/>Bws, LisaLisa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325267100051557913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037191148781832448.post-3317777317638252252008-04-23T19:41:00.000+01:002008-04-23T19:41:00.000+01:00Michelle,Thanks, she seems to have got over the fr...Michelle,<BR/>Thanks, she seems to have got over the frustration now and is back to just having a go at writing.Good idea for her to be able to look at photo's to see her improvement during those times. xx<BR/><BR/>Grit, thank you too ;-)<BR/>That is my new mantra "it will come" xx<BR/><BR/>Stacie, Emily has dyspraxia which is a condition that causes an impairment or immaturity of the organsation of movement and associated problems with language,perception and thought.She did avoid it when she first came out of school and wouldn't pick up a pen but now she really wants to do it which is the reason she is getting frustrated.xxLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810997122896661004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037191148781832448.post-70133370676292723752008-04-23T01:28:00.000+01:002008-04-23T01:28:00.000+01:00what are her issues with writing? i am asking bec...what are her issues with writing? i am asking because levi has issues too. he hates writing. except he doesn't get mad, he just tries to avoid it, and when he can't he either complains or writes fast and sloppily.Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148167067768602855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037191148781832448.post-30550884557830316492008-04-23T00:11:00.000+01:002008-04-23T00:11:00.000+01:00hugs from here too; we have had the same rage and ...hugs from here too; we have had the same rage and frustrations over reading. but it will come; it will.Grithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037191148781832448.post-45401217901008549922008-04-22T23:12:00.000+01:002008-04-22T23:12:00.000+01:00hugs for the frustrations but the rest of it all s...hugs for the frustrations but the rest of it all sounds good. I photograph Clo's writing regularly and then she can see the improvement else she would get demoralised too.
