does your ds notice the improvement?
maybe that will encourage him...
I'm not sure if he notices or not. I keep telling him how much his writing has improved, but he's such a perfectionist. Anything less than perfection isn't good enough. I am planning to go in with ds and the teacher next week and show ds his writing samples from the beginning of January compared to now.
Ds also says that it might look better but it's still really hard for him to accomplish that. This is a kid who hasn't had to learn to work hard at anything (until now). Maybe it just seems "TOO HARD" because he's not used to being challenged in school. Or, maybe he has a writing disability. I just don't know.
