English for the thoughtful child.

Vanessa, we did the majority of EFTTC orally — very minimal writing, only on questions that needed it (like putting correct punctuation at the end of a question. Come to think of it you could do that orally too if needed, by having the child say “question mark” at the end.). Which lesson are you on? I don’t see one marked as Copywork in the title.

We also do it orally! If writing needs to be done, I do it and my dd’s tell me what goes where, capital or lowercase, etc. I’m using it more as an introduction at this point then a mastery subject. We’ll buckle down in a few years when they’re older. But even orally, I’m seeing improvement in their personal writing and their reading (they point out the punctuation and use the appropriate voice tones). Right now it’s like a game and they enjoy this particular subject.
