Still never know how you can teach secondary! I can imagine it's make or break. <br />That is definitely something that I enjoy as a home school educator that there is so much more freedom!Martyn Kitney https://www.blogger.com/profile/07564829931381366013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-255221809964186992015-03-12T19:55:39.880+00:002015-03-12T19:55:39.880+00:00Interesting ideas Martyn.

As a secondary English teacher - with the pressures of Ks3 and Ks4 levels of progress there comes a point where it becomes 'make or break'. Interesting to see the freedom with home schooling.

Ultimately using something you know is a positive interest in their lives is a great way. From being a teacher to home schooling and through blogging I have learnt lots of different ways and tips but that doesn't always mean they'll work lol. But I hope some of these will be good for you. Let me know how you get on.Martyn Kitney https://www.blogger.com/profile/07564829931381366013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-45911082191076787072015-03-10T20:11:40.147+00:002015-03-10T20:11:40.147+00:00I'm always interested to read ways to encourag...I'm always interested to read ways to encourage writing in kids, we struggle with my eldest he is dyslexic and really lets it get in his way (no excuse though really his Granddad is too and I have 7 books he's written on my shelves at home), the middle child is more of a science maths type kid (bright as a spark mind and way ahead at school), my daughter however loves writing, but I think she has to practice her use of capitals and full stops (we found out tonight at parents evening). So finding new ways to help the all is great thanks Martyn.Ashley Beolenshttp://www.whenthedustsettles.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-86140475003721555282015-03-10T19:47:23.564+00:002015-03-10T19:47:23.564+00:00Thanks for commenting Jenny!

Especially if the school isn't helping in that regard. Hope you manage to find a way. Let me know how you get on!
