She always starts chatting away to me when I'm on the phone (which isn't very often) and was telling me about how she was writing a story. She sat drawing pictures and telling a story and I chatted away. To my amazement, she had actually been writing down what she was saying - a few mis-spelt words, or letters missing but she had drawn and written her story. The names of the characters were unusual, and the story a little vague, but here are some excerpts. I hope you like them. They will certainly be treasured here.

Imoni (and) nninim (the mouse)"

(friends of the bear)

(oo being the pigs name)

(phonetically perfect for Michael!)

Her story also had a squirrel called sos, another bird called owi and a dinosaur - the only word she asked me to help her spell for her story. I'm not entirely sure what was happening in the story but she does and that's all that matters.
She did eventually have a chat with her Nanny and Grandad and told them about her story.
I love it! She has really shown a flair for this, she should be very proud of herself.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Claire, she really is proud of herself, and can't get enough of reading and writing her own stories now - even if they make no sense to anyone else, they do to her.
