DD1(9) is in yr4. In class she is in all top sets and doing advanced maths course so i know she is able, but her literacy homework is turning into a joke.
Her spelling is atrocious, and writing all over the place. She has 10 words which she has to copy three times, and then incorporate each word into a sentence.
Checked her homework this morning and she hasn't even spelt the copied out words correctly. Am more frustrated than anything because when I bought the issue up with her teacher he says there is a huge discrepancy between her class work and homework but is not overly concerned. He has suggested to keep her in at playtime to re-do the work if he feels it's not to her expected standard but she just is not concerned.
Am so frustrated when such simple words are being mis-spelt and hand writing ranges from perfect to illegible in the same sentence.
How can I get through to her without it becoming (or continuing to be) a battle ground.
