The following is a direct transcript from our story making session. Edie started picking letters off the keyboard and naming them, then she had me spell a couple of words (easy, quinoa). Then, she started to pretend like she was writing a story, so I started to actually type what she was saying. But as you can see, she typed a few letters and numbers here and there, and at the end she was experimenting with making grown-up letters and kid letters (upper and lower-case)
