Page 4: I went down the pole [As this child was reading his writing back to me, he noticed he had forgotten to include the word “down.” I showed him how to add a caret vs erasing. This was not the focus of our writing conference, so I briefly mentioned it to him. He quickly latched on to this writing trick!
Since I LOVE talking about writing, I have a few (dozen) blog posts about writing.
