Writing!!

Over a year ago, I really had a problem getting creative writing out of Eden. It was normally a case of I gave her a topic to write on, and she would end up saying "But I don't know what to write." I thought this was strange because she has such an active imagination and makes up the most complicated pretend stories for her and Niamh. But I suppose I was simplifying the whole writing process a bit much. The ability to think up a story is different from the skill of getting it onto paper, and so we have both been really grateful for the books below. Eden started on book 1 and has never had a problem writing the stories. They help her slowly build up the story in pieces, and then finish it off by writing a complete story. It has been so lovely to be charmed by the great stories she has come up with, finally she has been able to put her imagination down on paper. Oh and Eden has also nearly finished this book, so another promised reward on the way:D

Niamh started on this one a few months back, and although it is a lot simpler, with picture drawing, and sticking in photos, she has enjoyed it just as much. We are so pleased to have found these books.
