I like it. Thank you for the post. Giving some rules to follow seems like a great idea. We all know how helpful "experts" can be lol I have been trying on my own to help ms DS7. Typing does help tremendously. My DS hasn't written more than 2 paragraphs and I was jumping for joy for that! 5 paragraphs, we are def. not up to that. CTY is helping also because the books and topics are interesting. I love the idea to include 5 descroptive adjectives. I keep saying to include interesting words. But that isn't great direction. I am going to tell him to include more descriptive adjectives and also make sure he has some compound sentences. I will check out your site. I just can't do that and CTY at the same time.
Thanks again !
