We were told at parents evening that it wasnt really a problem just that his mind works quicker than his hand but they would work with him and give him some help. His content/ideas, grammar are excellent in fact I was blown away by one story he wrote this week the imagination he put into it was fantastic and I dont think Im being bias as he teacher said the same before I'd even read it. But his writing is untidy and sometimes he doesnt form his letter correctly (a "g" doesnt quite have the top curvbed over and "r" might not have a clear stick at the start - not all the times though).
he has a job share and one teacher in particular who is known for her undiplimatic approach, goes on and on at him loudly and in front of everyone to the point he was asked to go outside and re-write a story - the other day as she felt it was untidy, he said everyone in the class was looking at him when he left and he returned...he said he felt like it was the walk of shame. Even a friend said to me that her daughter told her about what had happened and she knew what his objectives were with his hand writing - surely other children should not know this?
His writing was fine at the beginning of the year and has digressed since, he seems very dis-heartened with it all.
Im all for the teachers pushing him but can it be that they have battered him down that much in particular in front of others that he's just de-motivated himself?
Should I wait till he starts in his new class, new teacher and ask what we can do to motivate him to want to do better in his hand writing or in fact motivate him to want to please his teacher
