Proud Mummy Moment

I will try not to brag but....

Natty came rushing home clutching 2 precious sheets of paper yesterday.

Now every child develops at their own pace and has strengths and weaknesses in different areas. Natty just happens to love writing, tracing and copying, so we harnessed this. That said, this process has taken all school year to master, using Jolly Phonics actions to start with, then Ruth Miskin picture flash cards to visualise each letter with a writing action and lots of sensory activities, drawing in the air and on backs too.
