Thanks to a good poke from here... I finally cleaned out my daughter's room in search of some sample work. We applied for YS last spring but didn't include samples... which they turned around and asked for (gave us a year which is soon to expire)
Anywho, I'm looking for some advice. I figure I can send a couple of poems, some suduko 9 x 9s, and a story or two. Is that too much, too little. I could send in math but it will look worksheet-ish (most of her most elaborate math is in the form of doodles in her school books). Does anyone know a link or advice on determining grade level for writing? I'm trying to look past basic grammar errors and more at sentence structure/story line... any advice.
She just turned 7.
I will add - it is funny - whatever age she is at I think she's different but is it that much different. But when I look back at stuff from last year - I'm blown away. Then I think I'm her mother... sure she read Harry Potter at 6 but she wasn't reading in the crib... The denial dance or overly proud mother. Either way, I'm getting this in and done or I'll kick myself.
Thanks for any help - openly to aid all reading - or pm.
Thanks!
