Satori Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We started reading The Birchbark House this week, so my daughter wrote her own book, incorporating ideas she's taken from our early American History studies and the book. :) http://satorismiles.com/2011/02/25/esacoma-and-the-burchbark-house/ Just wanted to share. Obviously it isn't grammatically perfect and everything spelled correctly, but she writes books like this everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlgbug Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 i know satori has always been a writer. what helped her the most with spelling?? We are gonna start up AAS 1 again after a year in PS. But my DD LOVE LOVE LOVE to write in her journal. its jsut she rushes and spells phonetically, which is great, but at the same time i dont know. words she can read like "could" she jst writes cud. do you think AAS and if i get some money and buy FLL it will help? i encourage her to write all the time cause it has become a passion, little stories and all...i just would love to develop it better for her. She has no prob with me correcting it either, telling her what words are spelled wrong ect, but im afraid that will kill her confidence too...

Satori Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 AAS has worked wonders for us. It's amazing how well she can spell now. We're slowing our lessons down a bit now, we're currently on Level 4, Step 21 (out of 27). Our huge focus the school year of 2010-2011 has been grammar. I specifically focused on grammar to help her writing, which I think was a smart move for Satori. It wasn't what I was expecting to do, but the effort has paid off. We were in second grade grammar at the time of this writing. We're now in third grade grammar, using a few different programs, and she's really trying to use what she's learning. It's so cute. I very rarely correct her spelling and grammar on her independent writings she does for fun. I'll point it out in our lessons though.

Create Your Ritual Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi Angela. I love Satori's stories. I wanted to forward this link to you in case she might enjoy working on her own novel.. (It seems like she already does!). I actually really liked the lesson plans, and have thought of incorporating them into a weekly class with some in our co-op this year. http://littleblueschool.blogspot.com/search/label/lessons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for the link SaDonna! It looks very intriguing but a lot of the links to PDFs are no longer valid. :( Do you still have the entire program on PDF? Or is reading the articles on the examiner website sufficient? I actually think I might have downloaded it two years ago, but that was definitely too early for Satori at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Create Your Ritual Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I liked the lessons for sure.. I did notice after though that the links were not working for the worksheets. I wonder if I can email her about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
