I am wondering just how bad my son's writing is for his age. He hardly remembers a full stop or capital letter in his writing. Anything he writes is effectively one long sentence without any breaks. No capital letters or full stops! He is 9 years old, in year 4 and one of the oldest in his year. He is a bright chap in some ways and reads well for his age but I am worried about his writing. It is also messy, he struggles to keep it on the line, forgets some details like crossing 't's so they look like 'l's and tends to write quite big. I have been getting him to to regular writing exercises (a few minutes on most days) for nearly a year now just to improve letter formation/neatness and I keep reminding him about punctuation. However, I am not seeing much improvement! I wondered how usual this is at this age?
