DC has just gone back to school and I asked her to practice her writing while I dictate it to her. How old do you think this child is and whst school year do you think she has just started? My concern is she is behind.

I don’t understand the English schooling system so can’t guess a year but I’d say age 9 or 10. I was pretty rubbish at spelling and didn’t have great handwriting as a kid - I’m a doctor now so I’m not sure I’d stress that much about it.

I work with people who's handwriting is barely better than the example you've provided. If she is behind, practice will help.

6? Maybe she's dyslexic?

I have a dyslexic child, and that in no way represents a six year old dyslexic child. My child is 8 and still can't write and spell like this!!!!

Talk to her teacher. She might be behind, she might not. People guessing on the Internet aren't going to be able to help

Y4, Y5 or Y6 at a guess.

Ablondiebutagoody · 03/09/2025 15:36

Y4 or young Y5
