Oliver found writing his story understandably demanding last week ( 2 small pages in 2 sittings) , but it was nice to see the progress he'd made, from just copying the words , which had at the time seemed an immense achievement, to actually sounding all of them out, some independently and some with only a bit of help. We will definitely try writing stories more often now.
The new thing in terms of writing we did last week, was to write our regular list of 20 words with the same endings 'ing' and 'ed'. The aim is for O not having to think of these at all at some point, as his writing progresses. It's just a beginning, but I think it's nice to get some ready automatic patterns for him, to ease off his writing load a bit, like it's starting now to be happening with reading.
