Writing Samples from 2 apraxic kids

[Guest guest]

asked for some writing samples from our apraxic kids.

I'm going to write two samples from my 8 year old, 2nd grade, twin

daughters. was mildly apraxic and is pretty much resolved, but

still has some articulation problems. has brain damage, and has

had lots of difficulty with speech. She can talk, but she still has a

lot of work to do.

I left spelling and other errors in both writings. I would like to

point out that we just found out that is gifted. These sample

writings also were edited for errors. I think would have found

several of her errors if she had proofread her writing.

I had a great time spending Easter with my family and friends. In the

morning my brother, my sister, and I looked in our baskets to see

whtat the Easter Bunny had left us. I got a little tamagotchi that

started out as an egg. I also got a five dollar bill that was in an

egg that was in the basket. After that, we went on an Easter egg hunt

in our bacyard. We got marbles from eggs that had our names on them.

In the afternoon, we went to a fun Easter party. We had another

Easter egg hunt there. I think I will never forget that Easter.

easter eggs with are names had marbles. Anther thing I did over was

to go to Jillian's house. My sister and broter and I did anther
