CarolynD Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is there anything wrong with typing a 1st graders narration instead of writing it. I'm a fast typer but not so fast writer. Are they suppose to see us writing it? Thanks, Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuovonne Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 When I was handwriting Sparkle's narration I found that I disliked the handwriting so much that it never got done. I couldn't handwrite fast enough to keep up with her thoughts. I suppose that it would be easier if we just did summary narrations, which are short, but I found those too hard to do. Now, when I want to record Sparkle's narrations, I type them on the computer, and then print them out. She copies a few lines and then draws a picture at the bottom of the page. This way we have the entire narration, her handwriting of a few lines, and a picture all on one page. It's working well for us right now.

CarolynD Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Your welcome Wendy! Kuovonne, I like the way you put it all together in one paper. I'm going to give that a try. Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Neat! That sounds good. One of the little kinks I haven't figured out how to straighten out yet. I type a lot faster as well, and I see myself sliding on the writing. Off to make a narration page :auto: Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I always did that (for the same reason-fast typist) with dd's SOTW narrations, and then made them into a nice little book for her. It really helped reinforce the readings because she would read the narration "book" over and over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I used to type them & then print out the page and let them draw or paint a picture on the blank part of the page. They enjoyed that & it made some nice keepsakes. Merry :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
