ds 5 years is struggling with cursive writing and is reluctant to even try. He scored a 5 in his end of school report (just finished reception) which is below national average. He is an excellent reader (teacher's words not mine).
I noticed from a couple of his friends who are at different schools that they seem to print rarther than do cursive writing and they have lovely writing. He doesn't really ever see "joined up writing" and I wonder whether he is confused.
Is there anything I can do with him before he starts year 1 in September.
Thanks.
