[quote=Anonymous]My kid in MCPS 4th grade. Since he's been home, I've been supplementing with a writing and grammar program. For the first time, he is enjoying writing and is beginning to make the connections. "Expand your thoughts" means nothing to him. Giving him clear guidance such as use an adverb to expand your sentence. It provides visual imagery for the reader means something to him. Of course, now I am working with him on identifying parts of speech and sentence diagraming so adverb means something. He's also now able to understand that you just can't start talking about an idea in a subsequent paragraph without introducing the idea first.[/quote]
