My 12 y/o has started using a talk to text app. We outline key ideas on the board, then he narrates into his app. We've mostly just played with it this summer, but our plan is to use it for written narrations this fall. His oral narrations are excellent, so it's just transferring it to written. Ther...

We'll start CTC in January, so mid-5th grade. He'll be almost 11. I plan to continue with it through 6th grade, starting RTR the beginning of 7th.

My ds felt the same way. Such good books!

I'd keep going with 2 after a quick review.
