About this episode

This episode discusses why children may freeze or refuse to write and offers strategies to help them succeed in writing tasks.

Why does your child freeze or refuse when asked to write a simple sentence? Writing is a more complex skill than decoding for kids. Reading is passive (decoding). Writing is active (encoding). When you break apart a writing task into smaller chunks, your child can feel successful as a writer! 🧡 JOIN our FB Community for Moms Teaching Beginning & Struggling Readers PRINTABLE KINDERGARTEN PHONICS CURRICULUM: TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ: From CVC Words to Confident Reader!
