Is this written narration schedule okay for my 12 year old? Very confused!

My dd 12 just started vision therapy last month. Although she does read quite a bit, reading to herself and then giving an oral narratin is challenging but she is able to do it.
SO, when you add in the extra task of making it a WRITTEN narration, it is even more challenging. (Last year she did 1-2 written narrations per week-mostly with us reading the passage together.)
I finally came up with a plan for written narrations for her for now:
Monday- As a family we read the Bible passage for that day, do a group narration, and then discuss it. Then, after that my dd does a written narration on that Bible passage.
Wednesday- She reads two pages from a living science book, Louis Pasteur, Founder of Modern Medicine. Then she does an oral naration and then after that she does a written narration.
Friday- She reads a chapter to herself (these are pretty short) from Herodotus and the Road to History
Doing an oral narration first helps a lot with the writtnen narration but I need to wean her off this at some point. I am just not sure how to do this and keep it on track with CM principles.
I would love to know what others think about this! Thanks very much.
I remember reading some narration info on the charlottemasonhelp website once. I think Linda Faye suggested allowing the student to start a narration orally, then stop the student midway and have him write the rest. This way it would not be as much actual writing in the beginning. This is not what I have done, but I have a child who loves to write. I would think each time you could stop him or her a little earlier in the narration to write the rest until he or she is comfortable writing the whole narration.
