I have written about it here a few times, but we are still having the same problems. He had a lovely teacher up until the end of the spring term. She really motivated him to write, but things seem to have regressed since she went on mat leave.
The new teacher seems to be getting her head around the class, but in the meantime, my son is losing interest in writing. This is also having an effect on his confidence as he keeps saying all the other kids are better than him in writing, they all get to talk about their stories they?ve written and he can?t.
Both Yr R & Yr 1 teachers have said this is the only area that is holding him back. He is very imaginative and can talk for England, but the problem is getting his ideas down on paper.
Should I enlist the help of a tutor or is he too young (YR1)?
