i am blogging this cause i know there are a few others who ave kids who are learning to read and write. i find this to be so helpful so i thought i'd pass the tip along!
to help teach kids to write smaller. ha. cut up strips of paper that are about 3-4" and have the kids practice writing on the strip. i can see a huge improvement in the last few days
there is this great curriculum called handwriting with out tears that i want to get next yr but i found a freebie on line with the basic writing guide. so i printed it out and laminated it ( i am so the laminator lady) so he can write and wipe off with a dry erase pen
i had some colors kicking around so i did those too
today we focused on reading. i let the room for a minute and came back to this
his "reading room"
the dude is reading very well, but then i have no clue what to expect or what others are doing (nor do i care) but i find it fascinating to watch him sound out and read words

I have seen patternables in Weston's classroom! But I am getting it for Weston for his bday. He will be pumped!
I had ordered some homeschooling stuff for Katie for the summer. Never got around to it, but she does a little bit on her days off when Maya has her nap.
So yesterday she was supposed to practice her slanted lines. I was visiting with Mueti and Vati (coffee time you know:) and when I came back to check on her she didn't do any of the practicing, but at the top of the page she wrote: Katie cant do it.
What a girl! And of course, with just a bit of encouragement and attention she did the practice sheet with no problem!
Wishing you all the best as you continue working with Nate.
