How can I improve my son's writing skill, he is in 9th standard? He likes to read but when writing on his own, he is not good at expressing.

Ans: I am a firm believer of the fact that reading is the only way to improve your Language skills. a class 6th boy must be 12 or 13 year old. Buy good comics and short stories for children. Don't give tough books to read else he will develop aversion to reading. Simple language, topics of his choice- take him to book shops to pick up books. Hope this helps.

Ans: Sentence starters where he can finish his sentences.
2. Graphic organisers which is a fun way to attempt work.
3. Word bank on the topic to support his writing
4. Short dedicated time for work with 5-10 minutes break after 20 minutes can help motivate your child to write.
After this has been achieved, keeping an alarm to complete his work for 20 minutes can be set.

Ans: I understand your concerns about your son's education and future, and I want to reassure you that enrolling him in a special school is a positive step. Although long term it must be inclusive education. It’s great that he is receiving the tailored support he needs. To further support his development, continue with a multi-disciplinary approach by working with physiotherapists, rehabilitation psychologists, and other specialists who can address both his physical and mental needs. Utilizing all available resources at his special school, including individualized education plans (IEPs) and therapies, will also be beneficial.

Additionally, obtaining a disability certificate can provide access to extra resources and support. Consider exploring National Trust schemes that may offer additional assistance and benefits. Joining a parent support group can also be incredibly valuable, providing you with emotional support and practical advice from others who are in similar situations.

Your dedication and patience are crucial, and every small achievement is a step forward. With continued support and the right resources, he can make significant progress. Don’t hesitate to reach out to his educators and therapists for personalized advice and assistance.
