Literacy Support

Matthew reports that he is writing loads more with his 1:1 help, yesterday 3/4 of a page, today he finished his all his literacy work for the day. He is complaining about his hand hurting, but I just tell him to be sure to shake out his hand every so often (and the Ed Psych reported that he saw no distress when he was writing, -well writing only the title and 6 words isn't going to be that painful!?). He seems very pleased with himself and assures me that the LSA is only helping him with the physical act of writing and keeping his attention on his work.

Last night while reading we had words which he decided he was going to learn to spell there and then e.g countryside, he took a long look at them and got them. Seems to be taking loads more interest in words.

Phrases of the week " that was very civilised, wasn't it", "that's sarcasm Mam". He also asked me what "kinky" meant, - I told him curly ;).
