Getting going with writing : the right conditions.

Well developed Core Strength Poor posture Gross motor skills less developed Less control with fine motor skills and precision.

Squeeze , climb things and hang from things!

Strengthening Core Stability You need An area of floor or grass and a bean bag or soft toy. How to do it Get your child to sit on the ground with their hands and feet on the floor, fingers pointing behind them, raise their bottom off the floor to make a table shape. In this position get them to walk backwards, like a crab, to a destination and back again. Put a beanbag or soft toy on their tummy - make sure they keep their bottom up otherwise the toy will fall off! Tummy Skittles You need A large/medium sized ball, skittles or empty 1 litre or 2 litre plastic drinks bottles and space enough for your child to lay flat on their tummy and the skittles to be about 2 metres away. How to do it Get your child to lie on their stomach, lift their head up and then lift their arms above their head. Throw the ball at the skittles, then lower the body gently back to the floor, ready to throw again.

Bridge Games You need An area of floor or grass and some small toys to pass under the bridge such as vehicles or animals. For older children a stopwatch or clock with a seconds hand. How to do it Laying on their back with their knees bent and feet flat on the floor get your child to raise their bottom off the floor to form the bridge. Pass the toys under the bridge. For younger children get them to make the noise of the toys, for older children set them time challenges. As this activity can be quite demanding start by just playing for between 30 seconds and one minute. As your child gets stronger and can play for longer why not turn it into a family competition?   http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/elibrary/Content/Internet/537/17241/17246/17271/17304/4297816652.pdf?timestamp=4302672355

Good posture for Writing, Core Stability Good posture for Writing, Feet flat on the floor Ankles at 90degrees Knees at 90 degrees Hips at 90 degrees The 90/90/90 rule ‘Bottom to the back of the chair, tummy touching the table and 6 feet on the floor’

Fine Motor Skills Tweezers Squeezy bottles Pegs Straws and string Paperclips and elastic bands Hair scrunchies Bubble wrap

Lines are helpful Size of the letters ‘Ascenders’ and ‘descenders’ Upper and lower case letters. ‘Clever cat’: body for lower case on the line letters, tail for descenders, head for Upper case and ascenders.

Helping with spelling.

“Look at the word, remember it, cover, write then check” Encourage your children to ‘have a go’ then ask the question “Does it Look right?” speshul special speshial Talk about which parts of a word your child has spelt correctly and which parts are incorrect. This helps them to focus on the tricky bit and memorise that part (which might always catch them out) “Look at the word, remember it, cover, write then check”

Spelling pyramids Rainbow writing: February naughty

Devise cartoons and pictures to remember the spelling of homophones Devise cartoons and pictures to remember the spelling of homophones. (words that sound the same but are spelt differently)

How many words can we write in a minute that have the prefix dis? stay plate train hay eight state main trail clay today steak break Get competitive ! How many words can we write in a minute that all have the /ae/ phoneme? How many words can we write in a minute that have the prefix dis?

Crosswords, word searches and games will all support spelling. Word search creator  http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/WordSearchSetupForm.asp Remember: whenever we’re thinking about spelling, we use Letter Names

Encouraging writing: Be positive: be encouraging

But… ………the most important thing to do to help with writing is to………

Read…. Read with.. Read to…. Read alongside….

Why does Reading have such a Big impact on Writing? I hear words and sentences I don’t hear in everyday talk and I can put these into my own writing. I see how a story or a non-fiction text is put together. e.g. what kind of things happen at the beginning, the middle and the end I can ‘borrow’ ideas and inspiration from other writers. I’ll ‘see’ lots of words and this will help me with spelling. I’ll understand that writing has to interest my reader.
