This is interesting. I’m hoping looking at the Writing Revolution stuff is going to help me work out if, when kids say ‘I can’t do it’ - that they actually can’t do it because of knowledge or if they can’t do it because their writing is poor and they can’t get started. https://twitter.com/adamboxer1/status/1280945219572322304

Usually I’ve assumed - they just don’t know it and that might be well the case. But their reading and decoding probably isn’t good and if that’s the case the writing ‘skills’ won’t be good.
