Where are we now?

Small Boy can:

~ form letters correctly
~ use phonics to sound out new words (Phase 5)
~ spell a large number of high frequency words

From conversation, he appears to understand the different styles of writing taught this year, and what makes them different - poetry, recount, story, instructions, labels, captions.

He just doesn't write in the time given, and usually rushes something onto paper during playtime or lunchtime.

He says he needs to spend a long time thinking as he doesn't know what to write, and doesn't like it when he can't spell a word correctly.

So, my aim this holiday is to get him to write more quickly and with less worry.
