Lesson Comments
Glen would rather tell me the story to write. He talks very fast so that I have trouble keeping up with him. I am sure that he has trouble writing because he can't possibly write as fast as he can think.
Glen drew pictures from Mario Brothers. Then he dictated a story for me to type. We read the story so that he could correct what I wrote and add things he wanted to change.
