Some Writing from Indi

I'd just like to document a bit of Indi's literacy journey, as crude as it may be. I'm terribly disorganised (which I'm pretty sure is an unschooling family's prerogative) so I think I should at least start photographing and trying to blog about our little adventure in learning-without-schooling. It's pretty likely that these documents will go missing in the massive pile of 'stuff to sort through' but at least I'll have a digital version now :)


This one is from a few months ago. Mostly copy work and asking 'how do I spell ...' 


She copied these from reading eggs about a month ago. We have a couple of phonic-based programs on the computer and the iphone that she is free to use as she pleases.


This was from last week. She was nagging me about making a cake and wanted to make sure we had all the ingredients. Flour, eggs, milk, custard, cake, cupcakes. 


This was thrown at me a few days ago. For those not fluent in inventive spelling, it reads: 
Mum. I love you so much but I wish we could go on holidays. 
(Me too baby girl ;) )

She has also started reading everything in sight; street signs, food labels, catalogues etc. 
We have been reading some books together, just the regular simple beginner books, Fat Cat and that sort of thing. 
We also found a couple of Dr. Suess books in a second hand shop today (who get's rid of Dr. Suess, honestly?! One of them was even in the freebie bin!) and tonight she read a few pages from 'Ten Apples Up On Top!' which we have never read before so I know she actually read it and didn't just repeat from memory. WOW!
