I want to "home ed" my year 3 dd1 in English but don't have the foggiest idea where to start - advice please

[Wills]

My dd1 is bored at school and because of this is unhappy, focuses on making drama's out of molehills and on taking her resentment out on her siblings. I've taken 6 months to reach this conclusion and I'm still open to the possibility that I'm wrong. But, what I see is a child that used to adore all aspects of English who now refuses to bring any school books home because they're boring. So.... I'd like to challenge her myself at home, but I haven't got the foggiest idea where to start. I'm not a teacher, just a ordinary mum but I desperately want to light that fire in my dd that I used to see. Where do I start?

Sorry Wills, but I can't make up my mind whether you mean that you want to deregister your child from school, or if you want to supplement the education she is getting while still in school?

How about trying to get some books with subject matter that she finds interesting but that she would not have access to in school.Then try to encourage her story writing skills by playing a game where each person writes a section of story and then the next person and so on.Play scrabble with her and play to win(this means she will feel a bit more challenged and not as though you are letting her win).
If you want some books for guidance then try CGP which you can get from most bookshops and online.These books are actually quite fun and very helpful.They also do books to encourage story writing and help with spelling and grammar.
In the end the only way to really make sure you're helping is to ask her why she's bored and what she thinks could be done to make her feel interested again.As a child I became extremely bored in school so started reading things like little women and then on to more older aimed classics which kept my interest going and meant I coped with the everyday humdrum in school.
good luck

Is it just the reading or writing also? Are the books boring? What sort of books has she enjoyed in the past?
