My DD is 9yo and goes to a highly selective private school. She does fairly well in all areas but has always found writing a bit of a stuggle.
Her teacher says she has great ideas but struggles to get them onto paper in the allocated time and this will make it difficult for her when she has to sit the 11+ to get into the senior school.
The school have known for 2-3 years that she finds writing essays a bit of a challenge, and I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help her feel more confident about this type of work.
I'm considering using a tutor but teacher feels that they work hard enough at school and I am not convinced that english tutoring is the way forward anyway in terms of instilling confidence.
Does anyone have any ideas??
