I selected words he already knows the meaning of... and trust me, he's been spouting these words and explaining how eruptions occur to me for weeks now. (FYI He claims I'm his teacher and he's my teacher, I just go along with it).
After tracing his volcanic words he got distracted, started drawing the solar system and pasting each galactic body on the underside of our computer desk... but that story is for another post.
I continued with his letter writing skills the next day by drawing a pictograph using similar volcano related words, allowed him trace them and we both coloured the scene together.
