      Good thing to do with a 6 yo: type stories they dictate. At that age, the physical act of writing is a bottleneck, so this can release a torrent of imagination. They love seeing their stories printed, like "real" stories they read in books. And it's a fun thing to do together.

      When I do this, I don't edit what he writes. It's his story. I'm just transcribing it. So the most I'll do, if he mangles a sentence so badly that it's not even something he'd say, is repeat the first half out loud as I'm typing, and let him finish it again.

          Tried speech to text? I guess it might struggle for a child's voice and language structure?

          I used to make up stories about two kids from a neighboring town. Then the characters would send her letters. Once we wrote a letter to the characters. At my daughter's suggestion, we put the envelop under her pillow and had the tooth fairy deliver it.

          That's "scribing" in edu-speak. It's a lot of fun to see what they come up with. :)

          Use comic book apps for visuals they can play with.

          I find it fascinating -the way you interact with your kids, and proactively help them develop their reasoning. 👏🏻🔥
