[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's writing improved dramatically in sixth grade. I had gotten to the point where I believed it might never happen and then overnight, it seemed, he became a real writer.

Some key components to this were: typing practice for YEARS so that the handwriting component was totally eliminated and editing was made much easier; years of being an avid reader so that suddenly sentence structures and style elements seemed natural and ingrained (but why that suddenly made a difference in sixth grade and not before I can't really explain); an excellent, rigorous but step-by-step writing/grammar program; maturity (?).

If my son can do it, I truly believe that anyone can.[/quote]

Not OP but thanks for hope given.  I have been teaching my son to type this year (2nd grade) using a program and the teachers have said it has already made a big difference in his desire to try.  We still need much more production.  This summer I’ll keep the typing up so he doesn’t lose his skills and hope that it will click at some point.  He is already an avid reader with great imagination, we just need it to get onto paper.  [/quote]
