Hi, hope someone can give me some tips please.
DS1 has terrible writing. He's just finished yr 2 and got a level 1 in his sats which I presume is the lowest you can get?
He holds his pencil wrong (I'm working on this and have bought pencils listed by others on here and working through the list mrz posted a few weeks ago).
However he has always formed his letters wrong too and despite speaking to the teachers every year this hasn't changed. He is set in his bad habit now and however much I tell him, he does it his way when I'm not sitting over him.
Any tips welcomed. He'll have a nightmare of a time when they start 'joined up' writing next year.
Incidentally I always held my pencil wrong and still do - by the time the teacher's and my mum noticed, it was too late for me to change.
