I have met many children in my life who work incredibly hard to learn to read and spell, children who never give up no matter what. If reading and spelling comes naturally to you then take a moment to think what it would be like to learn 44 different sounds, one by one, and the multitude of spelling rules that go with our language.
Just to write the paragraph above the brain would need to remember and recall approximately 49 different spelling patterns and rules at speed. ( I'm sure there are more so please don't correct me!) So when you want a child to write a story or take an exam think about all the extra skills that are needed on top and ask them what they need to make it easier for them.
So if they are not giving up, neither am I.
