Please NOTE: this entry is put together just for me to quickly organise things in my head and keep a record of our home-schooling for sentimental reasons. It is also a draft to be edited on needs' bases for LEA, should they knock on our Homeschooling door, out of a blue. So, this is NOT an edited copy, and all kinds of typos, missing articles and grammatical / stylistic flaws is a given. If you are reading this because Google catapulted you here for his own googley reasons, welcome to my blog, I'm hoping that you will find it useful but not expecting a perfect flow of written word.
Oliver does quite well with understanding the text but really struggles with re-telling the story. So this question exercise is brilliant for him. Sometimes I have to read the text twice but breaking it down to bits works and he gets there at the end.
Language books is , also brilliant. We doing exercises on structure of the text and text copy on things like Proper Nouns , so he can re-inforce that knowledge as well when writing. Great when books go like that , in co-operation.
WE are on Chapter 12 of Jolly Robin. It's going well. Some days Oliver reads the whole chapters , like on Wednesday, because we'd missed Tuesday's reading because of the HE school trip. Today we also looked through the text searching out 'Proper nouns', which he found quite easily even though he sill gets confused with the whole 'what are nous , which ones are 'common' and which one are 'proper'
