3rd grade was a hard year adjusting to a newborn and we barely finished the basics, so we have a lot of things to finish in other subjects. We also had to take some time off of writing because K was really struggling with dictation. Some guidance I got was to go back to the
Writing With Ease Level 2 book. However, upon listening to Susan Wise Bauer in 2 videos she posted about dictation, I realized I was expecting too much for dictation. You can give it one sentence at a time, you are just trying to stretch the child's memory capacity to see how much they can hold. K can hold 12-15 words easily in her mind and then write them down, which is about 2 sentences. So we are going to go ahead and do
Writing With Ease Level 3 this year.
