If that’s the way it works for you, you’re probably very wise to look for alternates. I believe that everyone has learning methods that work best, and it’s nice when you can find them. Moms and grandmoms have to be flexible, and it doesn’t hurt to make it fun as well.

You have a very nice grandparenting website. I enjoyed browsing! Thanks for stopping to by to share your experience.

Even copying into the computer goes straight from the page to my fingers without registering much in my brain.

When I a child hates copy work, as in most of my kids and grandkids, I generally feel for them, and look for other ways, such as discussions, to help them remember.

That’s interesting, Carol. Copywork is usually the easiest thing for people who have writing difficulty, because there’s no need to try and remember any spelling, grammar, or punctuation since it’s all there in the model. If you ever want to try it again, you might find it easier to have someone write out the text for you, skipping lines. That way, you’re not having to look back and forth for any distance, as each letter or punctuation mark is written under the model. Sometimes just eliminating the physical distance between the model and the copy can help a child who is struggling.

Kimmie, copywork is usually wonderful for getting the feel of a new language. I practiced it myself when I was learning French.

I guess it depends on your learning style. For me it was torture and I didn’t absorb a thing. I guess writing in itself was such hard work for me, (I think disgraphia or whatever, no one knew at the time)that all my concentration was on spelling the individual words. I did OK with taking short form notes from what I read.

Hoping it will help her gain English without too much stress involved. I am sure we will do a lot of this over the next few months.

thanks for the encouragment Janice!
