Paragraphs

One student started writing paragraphs this past month.  We had been working with pencil and paper and it was so hard for him because his fine motor skills aren't so strong.  He would barely get a single sentence written and it was barely legible.  Once we started having him type them on his iPad, he started to really take off.  He still tries to drop off the structural words when he types (even though he verbalizes them), but with support he types full sentences - three at a time that connect based on picture cards.  I then type out some extra sentences for him on the same theme to help him expand his writing beyond description.  It's been fun watching this new communication skill.
