My son brings home his exercise books once a month. The school has a policy whereby homework once a month involves children bringing their school books home to share with their parents. I think it's a great idea and my son is very proud of his work.
I am a teacher so I have some idea of what is expected of children at year one and so forth and I never thought I would be like this. I can see that my son is a reluctant writer who is struggling. He is articulate and has great oral language skills but I can see that he will take the easy route if possible. so instead of expressing himself in some detail he will cut sentences short or use a word which is easier to have a go at spelling. How can I get him to see the fun of writing and to develop more of a desire to write? He loves listening to stories and our house is filled with books. I get him to write short shopping lists and little notes etc but even this is a trial.
