I let my 3 year old practice typing on the computer with notepad open. Then I ask her to tell me about what she's written. We practice other things online such as preschool games, but this is something that I hope really gets her interested in writing. Great post, Stephanie I do the same thing.

They have the most interesting things to tell us when we give them the tools to do so. Hi Sharon! Isn’t it fun to watch them learn?

I think a new blog may be in order, and I might just write it from her perspective, and I might just call her Theda Jr.! Thanks! I can then tell everyone about her ridiculousness, and keep a diary of her life. I wish I'd started it when I was pregnant. Or even before. I've known my daughter for a long, long time.

I have used all those methods with my daughter, who is now 5 and has above average language ability. She uses adjectives and adverbs as a matter of course, can describe how things work or what words mean and knows synonyms for several words. Of course, there are still errors with tenses, but we're working on those. :) <em>Sharon Hurley Hall's last blog post..<a href='http://getpaidtowriteonline.com/taking-criticism-are-you-a-dinosaur/'>Taking Criticism: Are You A Dinosaur?</a></em> You are so right, Theda.
