My son, who soon turns 8, is unfortunately a very reluctant writer. He is capable reader. We learn a new word each day and he usually understands all of the words when reading his books.
However, he is very reluctant / lazy writer. He will write the least possible, a paragraph for his homework when he should be writing 2 or 3 paragraphs. He will continue to use a limit vocab in his writing unless i am there with him encouraging him to think and expand his vocab.
Any ideas how I can get him to write or be more willing to but more effort in. He is generally good with his school work but its the writing aspect that seems to put him off.
