bkpan Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ds will be entering 7th grade, and I believe is gifted in his writing. We have done VERY little writing formally, but he writes these amazing short stories with depth well beyond his years. BUT, I feel totally inadequate in critiquing his work. I am more of an intuitive, mediocre writer, and just feel lost on how to judge his work, other than grammar. So, my question is this. I have a friend who is a lit professor at the local comm college, whom I could hire to tutor ds. We could squeeze out the funds, but it will be a stretch - one that we will definitely sacrifice for if it is worth it. Or, would it be better to just fumble alone with TOG writing aids for the next two years and get him a writing tutor for the hs years? What say you??:bigear: Thanks!

Josie Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I would hire a tutor since you think your ds is gifted in this area. I would make sure the tutor wouldn't squelch your ds's creativity, and I would make sure I really got my money's worth. Like you said, you can grade the grammar, so you want a lot more than that.
