During writing students have been working on writing their own words as much as possible.  Some strategies for this include just writing beginning sounds - with spaces between words I can often read what is written.  We have also talked about stretching words - saying them slowly to hear all of the sounds and writing as many as we can.  We have had many discussions about just making an attempt, even if some sounds are missing - with practice children will get better and better at writing, but they have to take the risk.  It is always very exciting for children and me when I can read their writing before they tell me about it.
