Their thoughts and ideas are being expressed more clearly
and they are excited to write stories and in their
journals.
Keep the progress going by writing at home often. Writing
shopping lists, birthday cards and letters to friends,
summer journals and the creation of a book with a pretend
(fictional) character who is having a special adventure are
just some of the ways to make writing fun over the summer
recess.

using real life experiences to teach and reinforce skills.
