Keegan and I have been "journaling" every now and then, since he started kindergarten. Typically, we pick a topic to write about together, and then I ask him to tell me what he wants me to write. He dictates, and I write the sentences as he phrases them. TONIGHT we tried the next step. I told Keegan that he was going to write his own journal today, and he had to sound out every letter and write it himself! The only thing I helped him with is the date-- since he obviously doesn't know that October is written as "10." But the "81" instead of "18" is all him. At this stage, we don't correct, we just encourage the writing! (He thought of the two phrases all on his own too!)
