Within a few weeks of ds starting school he was given a letter and sounds book and were told that this book would be sent home every Friday, started with s,a,t and I presume would carry on with p,i,n etc. He happily practised his letter forming in this workbook. Since this time he's had no written homework to do and as my ds doesn't really like to sit and colour that much or write for that matter at home I'm a little worried he's not getting the letter forming practice needed, in fact he seems to be doing less than he did in the private day nursery he went to, I have asked him if he writes at school and he tells me he doesn't, although I do understand that his interpretation may be different than the schools. I've bought a small whiteboard for home and I'm going to practice letter formation with him myself, just to try and encourage him a bit more, I will also be speaking to the teacher towards the end of the week but just wondered what is to be expected in Reception, our school seem to be focussing on reading and literacy but writing seems to be less so.
