To encourage writing, we’ve started a Family Journal. We’re all writing a minimum of 1 sentence after dinner. It’s reallyjust the news of our day. Spelling does not count, but everyone must trytheir best.
This offers us (the parents) a chance to model appropriatespacing, capital letters, and think out loud about what we are writing (ideas,sounds, etc).
That’s it – pretty simple!
