DD has just finished reception and is left handed. She is quite good at her individual letter formation, but when she tries to write sentences (which she wants to do alot at the moment) the letters all start to crowd over each other. I suspect this is because she cannot see what she has already written, so it is hard for her to work out spacing. She is getting very frustrated with herself.
Does anyone have any tips for helping her? I'm right handed, so its hard for me to advise her really. All the practice books I could find seem geared to right handed children, I think there might be different formations for left handers?
