My 10-year old son can't write a proper text

01/10/2012 at 05:43 PM.

Hi everybody,
My son is unable to write any sort of decent text, I mean he writes a story in 3 lines and refuses to practise his writing with me. Have you got any ideas I could use?

The key is to show respect for the narratives he produces orally. When he's telling you something, whether it be about what happened in his day at school or about what he figured out about a product, get in the habit of listening enthusiastically. If there's something that needs clarifying, ask about it. Ask questions that probe about details, and about motivation. If you show this kind of interest in the things he tells you, it will make it natural when you ask the same kinds of things in his writing.

Just try some entertaining method which brings some interest in him.You should deal with him a little more care.
