[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have our second grader do copy work.  This is literally each day copying a paragraph from a book on to a piece of paper.  This helps him to focus on paragraph formation (indentation, staying in the lines), sentence mechanics and letter formation.  Separate from that, we do a journal.  Writing coherent journal entries and getting thoughts on paper has become easier because he's practiced "mechanics" over and over via the copy work.  [/quote]

I would try this only if handwriting/fine motor was the issue.

OP, did you want at home programs or in-person programs?  You can try Linda Mood Bell or ASDEC:

Lab School Camp (see page 9):

Thanks, we did Lindamood Bell last year - it helped her a lot with reading, but not writing...and frankly it broke the bank...

The other program looks good but at this point we don't really need something reading-focused.  But I appreciate this information, I have not heard of this program.[/quote]
