What will it do for me? Lesson by lesson your student will quickly build an impressive vocabulary bank. He will do the work. You will direct. He will write descriptive sentences - he will be able to accurately and precisely describe what he has seen and experienced on paper. If you are like me - used to packaged curriculum where the student reads the instruction and gets to it - it will mean stepping in to be a part of that experience to a level that might be uncomfortable at first. Especially for my Nate - as he enters courses that will require more of both of us - I recommend The Write Foundation as a great start! - and if you are uncomfortable wondering if you are piecing the plan together well - they do offer tutors on line to help you grade/test/hold accountable!Angie, Pebblekeeper
