Woo Hoo, Yes and Oh My, No.

It was a Woo Hoo YES and an Oh My NO

type of day

Do you know what this?  It is a huge step forward.  Eight weeks in and this is the first story organizer he wrote on his own, actually the first story organizer he has done.  I might have to frame this and put it on the wall.   It helps when he enjoys the story and this was laid out in a way where it was easier to follow the sequencing of the story.  He understood the organizer, Woo Hoo!

And then we have our big fail of the day.  I had a feeling he was not completely understanding grammar and this quick review proves it.  The rules are not sticking with him, which again is part of his apraxic issue but since we are tackling this home adventure I can rework the rest of the week to include some extra practice and review as we move forward.  The funny argument we have going on is about spoken words used compared to written words.   Take the word fish, its plural is fish.  Question number five has fishies as a choice and LT choose that as the answer (he did choose the wrong rule spelling as fishys) and he has tons of spoken examples to prove his point about using fishy and fishies in our language.  This is the struggles of someone with a processing disorder.  Grammar will be an interesting struggle for the rest of the year and probably the rest of his life.
