Help - my son hates writing!
My 7 year old is very bright, has a reading age of 10, loves reading books but hates writing. Consequently he writes the simplest and fewest sentences he can for any piece of written work, whether a story or a single sentence. He has had handwriting problems due to dyspraxia but they are all resolved now; he writes well and no longer finds it painful in any way. His teacher is keen to encourage him and praises any written work he does but like me, she is frustrated because he has a lot of ability. He has basically decided he doesn't like literacy work in or out of class. He loves maths and would rather do that or read instead. He is quite strong-willed too. If you have any suggestions for how to motivate him or make literacy more fun for him, please let me know, as I'm running out of ideas. Thanks.
