Summary
How do I help my older students develop their composition abilities if they've not been narrating from the beginning? How can I keep up with all the many narrations my children need to tell and write each day? How do I know that they're getting the facts right in their narrations? We're addressing these questions and more as we wrap up our Composition series on the podcast today.
