Reflection

This lesson had it's ups and downs and I think that pace was probably the biggest challenge. The learners liked the context of fairy tales and enjoyed the twist in our dictation that saw the Grandma saving the day. I found that the ability to self pace the writing speed through dictation and have the teacher support built into the dictation allowed me to provide additional support to those who needed it most.
