DS1 found writing tricky in reception (lack of fine motor skills) but has blossomed in year 1. Everything is coming on really nicely and he's been given huge encouragement at home / school. I am also confident the fine motor skills are finally there.
However - he has very much "learned" the curly caterpillar letters the wrong way round (ie a, c, d etc). This isn't the same as mixing up b and d - it is really engrained. I don't think it helps that his name (5 letters) has 3 of those letters in it - so he's just constantly repeated it wrongly for a long period of time.
Anyway - has anyone got any suggestions as to how to correct things now? He finally has the confidence in his writing where I can push things a bit. At the moment I'm just getting him to write row upon row of C's but its pretty dull. I was hoping someone might have some bright ideas? Thanks.
