hello - bit of background. My DD is 6.5, reads well, likes maths, doing fine academically, but is really struggling with writing. She knows what to write (but isn't up to same level as with reading etc because she doesn't practice) but the physical process is very laborious - uses whole arm, presses hard, can't space words/letters on a page etc. She is being taught cursive, but I think this feels very removed for her from expressing herself (copying out letters, tracing over words etc). She will be in 1st class (we are in Ireland) in Sept and this seems like a step into a more formal curriculum. School doesn't really seem to be helping her much, so I'd like to find some fun way of supporting her through the holidays. Any ideas? Many thanks
