DS is coming to the end of Y9, and he seems to be really struggling with his English. KS2 SATS were Level 5 - he is currently bouncing around 5a/6c/6b depending on the task.
Have discussed with teacher at parents evening - the message is more detail needed, and read more. He is definitely doing the latter.
I need suggestions for how to help him! I've been to the TES site and printed out a few PEE guides, and linked to some other guides for sentence construction and power words.
This is all well and good - and hopefully he will take it on board (although he does already know all this in theory but is not putting it into practice) - it's like it's just not "clicking" with him (the lack of detail problem effects other subjects too but not so badly).
I need suggestions kind folks please! Maybe some "fun" exercises to do (that i would be able to judge were good/bad/indifferent).
TIA
