And the other one had dysgraphia.
And both of them I supported by writing their words for them when they were in that sort of burst of self-expression in the early years.
And as they got older, of course we were working on the mechanics, but we worked on the mechanics independently of that self-expression.
In other words, I like to say we use someone else's writing to teach a child the mechanics of writing.
And we use their writing voice to help them experience being an author.
And so initially a child is copying literature.
We call that copy work in Brave Rider.
We can practice with things like dictation, where I read a passage and the child handwrites it while they're listening.
And that very much mimics what it's like to write the thoughts in your head, but they don't have to create the thoughts.
They're literally transcribing existing syntax.
Meanwhile, when they go to write their own thoughts, we give them permission to be as close.
Clumsy and playful as they are when they're learning to speak.
So we call that free writing.
That is a term I got from Peter Elbow, who was professor emeritus at Amherst University in Massachusetts.
And he was really wrote the book on free writing in the 90s and early 2000s.
And free writing is the permission.
For unbridled self-expression in written form without undue attention to grammar spelling or punctuation in that initial burst.
And in fact, if you get stuck and you are free writing, you can write things like, I'm stuck, this is stupid, I can't believe my mother is making me do this.
Because what we're trying to do is hook up the mind life with a hand.
So as we pay attention to the words on the ticker tape in the mind, the hand is learning how to keep pace.
