I have written things out for DD when she wants help writing. Sometimes I'll write out the word for her to copy down herself so she knows how to spell it. But I can't do that for her in school.

Our challenge is getting her to TRY to write on her own, even if she knows the spelling is wrong. Apparently DD struggled again today in school even though they gave her the K work, and it was stuff she already knows. So I'm not sure what is going on with her -- if it's behavioral, if she's just not reading the directions and then getting frustrated when the teacher corrects her or what. Then when I ask DD about it, she says everything is fine and school is easy. I'm so confused!!

Geez, life was a bit simpler before school started. Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated myself right now and eager to get to the bottom of this ASAP.
