Hello,
My daughter just turned 6. She's just beginning to read three letter words and some sight words. I dont push her reading or writing because it is something she struggles with and seems she is not ready for, however she spends lots of time "writing' in her notebook. She makes the same swirls over and over and has done many pages of this!
I am wondering if this is a repetition that just gives Her a sense of peace and she enjoys it or is it her desire to learn to write and I should push her to do more practice? She says she is writing cursive.
Her sister is 8 and has always been very advanced so I am not sure how to go about teaching my 6year old at her own pace while, at the same time, making sure she gets what she needs at the right time.
We use Handwriting without Tears as our handwriting but maybe another choice would inspire her desire to learn more?
Any suggestions are greatly welcome.
Thank you,
Christine
