[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 193237, member: 5848"] I think Adrianne covered a bunch of good ideas that will encourage difficult child to write. One I would add is to allow her to tell stories without writing. If difficult child is anything like the 9 year olds I've worked with then she LOVES doing this and will be need to be told to stop! You could make it a fun thing between you and her. For example, you could do tag story-telling where she will start out a story, you continue it, then her, then you and so on...Then I would transition to writing these tag stories. Start small! Make it fun! =) Another note, do this in small increments, as I'm sure you know, you won't get anywhere with a child who has dug their heels in. Has difficult child ever used graphic organizers? I think these help students who don't like writing alot fo wrods to roganize their thoughts before actually writing. You didn't mention why difficult child is on the IEP (adhd, odd, etc. etc.) but I know that students who have adhd often struggle with writing because it is such an attention and planning intensive process. They have to think about their topic and what they are going to write, actually go through the mechanics of writing and hold whatever information they know in their head. Whew, makes me tired thinking about it. =) I've seen graphic organizers help students with adhd...maybe it will help difficult child? Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
