JDAx3.
Apparently at his school, you have to respond in writing to all books you read. So his reading group level was based on his written responses (not good) versus his reading ability.
So this is a kid who was still writing single letters as he went into K and now he is expected to write sentences. He just can't do it.
In Math, they had to write a calendar out (spelling days of the week and writing all the days in the month). Apparently, he was struggling with this activity. Forget the fact, that once they get past this lesson on the calendar, he already knows the 1st grade objectives through February/March.
I've been working really hard with him on writing at home because I realize how much this is going to hold him back.
I starting thinking maybe I should get him an IEP for handwriting, then the handwriting wouldn't hold him back so much??? Is this a crazy thought?
