We are doing Mommy led writing right now.
This means I assign something, we work through it, correct it, and then Sweet Pea rewrites it.
Today's assignment was five sentences about her stuffed animal and an adventure.
She wrote:
Sprinkles Adventures
Once apon a time there was a little, stuffed animal named Sprinkles. He was in a shelf in a sotre. One day he was picked for a friend by a little toddler, she loved him. Her parents paid for him.
"Sprinkles can crawl!" said Sweet Pea. He crawled around her. "Aaaah," said Spinkles. "Sprinkles wants to eat," said Mom. We made food for him. "Look at him eat" said Dad. "Well, I know Sprinkles was a little different that day." I said.
So the next day he got bord of waiting for me to wake up so he decided to explore.
She will write the end tomorrow, as well as fix the grammatical and spelling errors.
And that's what Mom led writing looks like for now.
I like it. It's creative and has a beginning, middle (with an age-appropriate "conflict," which is that the toy does something unlikely/fantastical), and seems to be building towards an end.
