[quote=Anonymous]The main skills my kid gained in 1st grade and into the beginning of 2nd that seemed to make other things easier were: 1. Reading to gain knowledge (read to learn vs. learn to read) 2. Writing easily and legibly. Like reading it was a transition from concentrating on how to form each letter to being able to have a thought and transcribe it onto paper. Keep it fun and it will click. My son loves graphic novels - DogMan, Captain Underpants, Hilo, Bone. We have him write silly sentences, song lyrics, post cards to family, thank you notes, etc. I have a pretend mailbox I got from Michael’s or JoAnne Fabrics and we write “mail” to family members in our house. My sons write each other ridiculous potty humor jokes, but they are writing and that’s the goal. [/quote]
