DS1 has just turned 6 and is in yr 1 at quite a high achieving state school. His writing has always been poor and this was mentioned in reception last yr. Much of the classwork that we received at the end of summer term showed only slight improvement and many of the writing exercises were impossible to decipher not just because of the writing but also his apparent poor spelling/grasp of phonics. At parents evening last week the same problem still seems to be cropping up...writing letters in words that are blatantly not there so much of his hard work is pretty incomprehensible. They are now suggesting that he is moved into the slower group that has more teacher support. We obviously have no problem about this but feel something should have been done earlier to remedy the issue. They have given us no real idea about how we can help him so wondered if anyone else could give us some advise. BTW his reading and numeracy are fine... thanks louise.
