farmmom4him Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have a 10 yr old dysgraphic child that can not yet write a complete sentence with a capital and ending punctuation. We have worked on it, but... So, would this be a good fit? I would probably start with level 1, as I also have a 7 yr old that can write, but not read. Yes, polar opposites, and yes, quite mind boggling. ;) THANKS for any and all ideas here. Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am using WWE 1 with my 10 yo dysgraphic child and it is going well. He wouldn't be able to write a sentence on his own either but is able to with WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmmom4him Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Great!! What all do you need to purchase. I find the items on the website confusing. There is a hard back, and workbook, and then some student pages. THANKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Knoll Mom Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Great!! What all do you need to purchase. I find the items on the website confusing. There is a hard back, and workbook, and then some student pages. THANKS!!! Two options: 1. Get the hard back book if you want to use your own selections for copywork and dictation. 2. Get the workbook if you want to have copywork and dictation already selected for you. The workbook includes one set of student pages. You need an extra set of student pages if you are going to do WWE with both students. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verity Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have two special needs boys and have found WWE to be a good fit for them both. The only thought I would add is that you may want different levels for the two. For instance, the WWE1 that I'm doing with my 7 year old has a selection from Peter Rabbit this week, the one for my 11 year old has a selection from Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Also, the level 1 sections are much more simplistic. But neither requires the student to master alot of physical writing - it can be toned down by the parent as needed. PS - I also like having extra student pages - I bought them for the higher level so that it will be simple for my younger student to reuse the workbook in the next year.

farmmom4him Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ok, thinking here... I use a program called startwrite, so that I can make exact replicas in the font that my child is to be writing in for his copywork. If I have just the text, could I still do this? Or are the examples only in the workbook. THANKS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verity Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have both, you can do this with Startwrite (and be able to choose your own font and size and selections) and just the book to explain the process or you can just buy the workbook - either will do the job.
