So far I am feeling comfortable with my writing program and I see progress in their writing. I can see that I will need to work with the Kowhai group more closely as they need some support with idea generation and linking ideas from one sentence to the next. I am getting some ideas from the Sheena Cameron book. I am happy with the spelling program and I can see it working within the chn writing. and the overall attitude to writing has changed. The chn are far more enthusiastic with their writing.
Things to focus on moving forward:
-remembering new skills that they have learned e.g. even though we are focusing on adverbs now doesn't mean we can forget about expanding on ideas or using a thesaurus and other word sources.
-appropriate noise level, this has improved but can get carried away sometimes.
-conferencing is working well but I would like to tighten it up where both chn I see can be involved with the whole process for both writers.
