I can't get any information out of ds's teacher, if I ask if he's about where he should be she just says vaguely "they're all doing well." Yes, I haven't asked about the others, I just want to know if ds is on target! Here is something he wrote last night. He put the capital letter and full stop himself but I reminded him twice to finger space - hence why "hashorns" is all one word. The sounds and spelling are his. It says "The Thstops hashuns to difnd his suf." It means "the triceratops has horns to defend himself." Although ds said "his self" when sounding out, not himself. He decided he was going to write a sentence about his favourite dinosaur and then draw a picture.
Is this about where he should be? I'm concerned about his writing because his handwriting is random and because without lines on the page he will just basically write anything anywhere. The handwriting for this isn't too bad, on the line and apart from one back to front "s" is clearly legible.
Thanks.
