Hi inky
At home she is absolutely fine with workbooks aimed at kids 2 grades on and so on. She does get very frustrated with longer writing activities though - the fine motor is definately not keeping up anywhere with what she wants to write. However, she has not stopped this completely and still does lots of writing at home. The teacher says she is displaying perfectionistic qualities in the classroom and is reluctant to write if she does not feel she can spell a word absolutely correct.
You are right - there have been no chapter books in the classroom so far. However, after our talk to the teacher my daughter tells me that one has appeared. So perhaps if she sees that there are chapter books - she may be more likely to read in the classroom - makes sense. thanks, Tiz
