My child is 12 and in 6th grade and still can not write. He is doing typing instead, and to be honest I wish typing was introduced to him from the very beginning! It was in 4th grade when his new OT made the switch. You can always play around with it and see if she picks up on it faster than writing. As far a homeschool I’m doing a strictly virtual school for now. I’m nervous to take on homeschooling so I figured let me get use to virtual since there is still a teacher and some schedule to follow. Good luck!

I'm a very laid-back homeschool mom. It's very child-lead. They are going to learn more if they are interested, so i base their lessons around things that they're into, ex. trains, cars, puzzles. I love that i can tailor their educations to what fits them as individuals!

In my experience, the age inwhich they start doing academics has no correlation to their future success. My A did not have any interest in learning to read until she was 10. She still started college at 16. A was always unschooled, so she was never part of the academic rat race. Some of my other kids did some school. Forcing them to try and fit into that neurotypical pegboard did not get them any further ahead. If anything, it causes behavioral problems.

Readiness and willingness go hand in hand. If she doesn't want to do it she is not ready. The good thing about homeschooling is that you can tailor her education to her learning needs and do things when she is ready. 6 is very young. It's okay not to do any formal academics at that age.

Maybe using recording? If she does not like writing, let her say the answers and record them, or shoot videos when she demonstrates her work. Engage her first. Allow her to do it in another way. Let her learn that working is not that bad.
