DC (just turned 6) has always had speech difficulties, had S&L therapy for the last 6 months and it’s slowly getting better... but her writing doesn’t seem to be improving.
She struggles to form any written sentences, there will be some parts of words often written in the wrong order. She’s unable to read back her writing. Her letters are often back to front. D and b’s confused. But her vocab is excellent and she’s engaged with her friends and other areas of school. I’m wondering if she might be dyslexic but I think it would be too early to test her? I just want to support her as much as I can. When I try to encourage her to write or read together she will try everything to get out of it, declares she hates it. Does anyone have a DC with disordered speech? Did it impact their writing? I’ve tried magnet words to form sentences... word games for spelling but she’s just not interested and won’t engage. Any advice would be great, thanks.
