Say It - See It - Own It!
While young children may have plenty of ideas about desired holiday gifts, they may not possess the ability to effectively handwrite their own wish list yet. This is where the engaging dictation technique of Say it - See it - Own it can be used quite effectively to bridge a gap in handwriting skills, increase confidence, and foster an interest in the writing process!
Simply have a young child dictate his or her holiday gift ideas to you. Expand the verbal expression and vocabulary-building opportunity by probing for descriptive details about the desired gifts. As you write the child's words on paper, the child's words and wishes are brought to life! Post the wish list prominently for the child (and everyone else) to see and watch the child beam with pride and ownership for his or her "writing."
Use the Say it - See it - Own it dictation technique for thank you note writing, too! Don't miss an opportunity during this holiday season to instill a love for writing in young children by encouraging verbal expression of gifts wished for and received! Happy Holidays...Write Out of the Box! Marianne |
