I knew my son was not overly keen on writing but as most homework is spellings and maths had not noticed how much he is struggling with handwriting. At parents evening I was told he does not finish tasks on time and I need to give him tasks to do within set time limits. I have started to do this an have instantly realised that is not lack of application or focus just incredibly slow painful and messy writing.
How can I help? he has a crap upright pencil grip - forms letters incorrectly and does not join up at all. I have always been against homework in primary school but now feel I have to really address this issue at home.
