[quote=Anonymous]NP. I agree that schools do not teach writing and grammar. My child also does not read full books; he reads passages. It’s hard to draw conclusions from a single passage without appropriate context that you derive from reading the book from the beginning. My kid does not benefit from graphic organizers or writing prompts. He just doesn’t know what to do. He is also very literal. He will give you exactly what you ask for. If the prompt is This weekend I.....he will write: slept. If you ask him for more he will and “and ate”. He doesn’t know how to create imagery or ask questions in his head that he should answer for the reader. A graphic organizer helps him sequence his thoughts but that’s about all. He does not learn through reading how to write. [/quote]
