[quote=Anonymous]My DD is similar. Very strong in Math, solid in reading, writing is weaker than the other subjects. She's a horrible speller. Her 4th grade teacher encouraged her to type everything because autocorrect would help. Same beloved teacher also explained to me that DD will just have to understand that she has to work a LOT harder at writing than she does on other subjects. For us, we have told her you need to work on writing like you work on your sports practice because she is a committed athlete. For kids where some things come easy, this is an important lesson. She also enjoyed a writing camp at Bullis this summer. I'm not sure it helped much, but she enjoyed it as it was a different kind of writing. She also, last year declared that she loved writing poetry. Finding ways to help him identify as a strong writer of XXXX (comic books, poems, music lyrics, etc.) Something that he can build on would be good.[/quote]
