Hi everyone, my son is a good reader (year 2) and loves reading. I get him a decent range of books to try. He likes Jack Stalwart and Beast Quest recently although I mix in some children classics for him too.
I am starting to see the influence of his reading to come through into his writing in terms of increase in variety in sentence structures. However he seems to not to retain new words that well. I know that the best way perhaps is to write down a few new words everyday and go through them regularly, but DS reads rather fast (probably too fast) so will be very unwilling to do this on his own and I am keen to avoid make reading a chore. His spelling is rather weak atm too.
In your experience did the vocabulary/spellings came through osmosis or did your DC has to work actively on that? The school spelling list only start this year and is still on very basic curriculum words so no help there. Will be grateful for any ideas!
