Is this normal for y1?

The quike brown Fox jummt ovu The lasy dog.

Or should we be working on his spelling a bit more?

looks pretty good to me !

Ds2 is year1 and would write something like that.

Yes. Dd1 (yr1) writes very much the same (and she's on g&t list for Literacy). She wrote 'culerfall raindear' yesterday (colourful reindeer). My understanding is that as long as what they're writing makes sense phonetically they are on track at this age.

That looks great for year one :) It's perfectly easy to decode what was written, which is exactly what is hoped for in KS1.

ds is yr1, that looks very similar to his 'dear farther christmas, ples may I have sum lego. I hav been very good and will leve you a jamy doder on christmas ev'

Aww, how lovely. Doubt my ds in yr 1 could write as well as that.

It's fine. All the kids in my DS's class write like this, some not as well.

My DD wrote like that in year 1 but at least half of it would have been backwards and/or mirror written

Most kids would do similar; some better.

Just got my Y1 child to write it. She spelled it all correctly, but she is at the upper end of her year for Literacy.

Most kids would do similar; some better, some worse.

She then turned round and said 'i can spell 'budget' too mummy', and did so.
Then she wrote 'colorfull raindear' [sic].

Dd2 who is y1 and gifted wrote...
The cwick(??) brown foxs jumped over the lazy dog.

one snowy eve mrber rang a bell over santas head to wake hin up,
then wile(while) the ber helpt santa get drest.
DD Y1 doing very well in literacy[sceptical]

Looks fine to me my dd has just written a list of things to take to MILs for xmas - she wants to put it all in her 'sookais'

Having spent some time in a yr1 class I'd say you have nothing to fret about. Some yr1's are still getting to grips with recognisable letter formation let alone phonic awareness to that level.

My ds just wrote 'the qik brwon fox jumpt ovu the lezee bog'

Ds august born yr 1 wrote ' the quick bran fox jumpt over the laz dog '

I'd be pleased if some of my year 10 students produced that!

Ok, anyone's 2 year-old able to spell it correctly? Gifted, obviously.

oooooohhhhh get you! iamnotminterested
