Her writing will improve as well as her comprehension if she reads more.
It does not have to be books, it can be newspaper articles and journals. DG
She's never really read any books that would challenge her. I think she doesn't have the attention span to be glued to a book and of course social media, phones etc play their part in a welcome alternative. The most shes read of late are along the lines of the Tom gates books which even my 11year old has outgrown years ago. I have told her that from next weekend we are starting "book club" so I expect her phone & tablet to go away for an hour and for us both to read & discuss the books. Not sure if this will encourage her or not but I need to try something.
I may re subscribe to a newspaper as she used to enjoy first news & the week. It's so difficult when she seems to not have any form of enjoyment when it comes to reading at the moment.
