so my 10yo dd is having a really hard time with WWE 4

[jenniferlee]

She's just dragging over it every day. Says she's really bored with it. We are doing the workbook, so maybe she just doesn't like the selections. But I can tell I'm losing her. Is there something else I should be considering?

We tried Kilgallon and that just mystified her.

 

she was a late reader and while she reads well now, she also seems to be a late to develop writer. Even a couple of sentences bogs her down.

 

I almost think she would enjoy something more creative, but I'm not sure.

She's a very hands on crafty sort of person. Loves animals and being outside - you know the type.

 

Should we just stick it out? Or would finding our own topics to narrate/dictate from help?

 

what's your experience?

 

thanks

I love WWE but we did hit a point where we needed a change.

 

We did some WWE3, then we went on to Writing Tales 1 & 2, and now we're using WWS. This worked well for dd, who writes well but doesn't enjoy the process of it.

I'd move on . . . dd9 was in the same boat, and we moved on to WWS. It is *not* boring - she has to work at it!
