[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Teach them how to type. If a child is struggling with poor handwriting, knowing how to type can make all the difference. My son went from barely wanting to write one sentence to typing out long, involved stories for fun . [/quote] Agree. Once my son learned keyboarding it made all the difference. His school technology teacher taught it in primary grades. He won't write anything by hand, but writes well on the computer. [/quote] The school recommended the typing practice around 5th or 6th grade. DS practiced at home and at school and what a HUGE difference in a very short amount of time. DS has always been a reader but he wasn't the type to challenge himself so, as he got a little older, I did start to suggest some books (classics) that would both interest AND challenge him a bit and it's made a big, big difference in his reading/writing level, IMO.
