I’m Hungry All the Way Up to the Sky (by sarah)
Jean is being most inventive with description at the moment - for being very hungry she said, 'I'm hungry all the way up to the sky Mummy, my tummy is pointing to the clouds, I'm that hungry.'
I gave her a bowl of cereal!
But she is coming out with lots of things like this and now she has started telling me stories too - long involved stories about toys and the like 🙂
She wants to write them but doens't know how to form the words yet - if she continues in this vein I have some fun projects to do with her to help develope her language skills and the like.
Obviously she will be starting school in Septmeber and there is going to be a bit of homework from that so it depends on how interested she remains with the story and writing stuff.
Due to the dyslexia I think there is going to have to be alot of 'lets look that word up in the dictionary' which means it will take longer but I can't see any other way around it and the system worked well when I was doing my work experience and was left in charge of the 'spelling wall' I am even tempted to make a spelling wall for her room to help with this.
We have been steadily working through the work booklets I picked up for her and she still seems to be enjoying them.

It sounds like she's an aspiring poet!
