any suggestions for activities that will help a yr 6 who is really struggling with writing

[Bitzer]

Hello knowledgeable folk,

I'm working in a volunteer capacity with a Yr6 boy who is very behind on his writing and maths. His concentration levels are really poor so I need to find a variety of engaging activities that I can do in the hour-long session that we have together to help him improve his writing. Any ideas?

The maths side feels a bit easier to tackle but any suggestions for fun maths activities also much appreciated.

Thanks v much,

cheryzan i know because i was their year 5 teacher too

TAs are trained.

presumably you would stop untrained parents reading with their kids too?

bitzer - you have been given some great ideas and I am sure that what you are doing will be tremendously helpful. Have you considered dong your NQT year and specialising in SEN? You sound just the sort of professional we need in schools?
