Any advice how to help a year 3 leaver (8.5 YO) with her handwriting and spelling...?
In my mind it has improved massively this year, but is certainly not consistent and is a key weakness when reading her report (working towards year 3 goals still)
In her mind, all her friends have achieved some bloody handwriting scribe award that allows them to use a pen or something
I will obviously be chatting to her teacher this week about ways I can support her over the holidays, and I have a sinking feeling it will be simply encouraging writing every day!
I'm trying to get her to slow down on her writing at the moment and think about the spellings, as often - when she thinks about it a bit more, the spelling is right (or better at least). I think maybe at the moment she is struggling with putting it all together - ie the ideas, the sentence structure, the spelling AND writing neatly!
Any ideas or suggestions for fun things to support her before I talk to the teacher ??
thanks
