[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than drilling and killing her, have her read whatever she's interested in. The more she enjoys reading, the better her writing will become. Really.[/quote] Also the more you write the better you get. I remember being so intimidated when I went back to work after 15 years and had to write quite a bit. I got comfortable after awhile and enjoyed it. I no longer work outside of the home and am losing the skill again. At that age my son’s learning disability got in the way of his physically writing because of OT problems. He was able to use a scribe to do short stories. He was able to use his wit to write mundane short stories that were really clever. Maybe you can do something fun like write secret funny paragraphs to each other and hide them. Something to get her comfortable with writing more and more. [/quote]
