Hi,
In reply to your message.
I use Sky Writing with some children I work with; children who are dyslexic but also those who are not.

Children pretended to write letters and even words in the air with magic wands, being their pencils, with large movement. This allowed the children to improve and experience Kinaesthetics, which are movements of the body.

Kinaesthetics works by the brain keeping a memory of the movements being made and allows children to connect a memory with a movement, sound or picture. That is why we never forget how to ride a bicycle or swim!

This may help your child remember letters and words and relate them to a movement or memory. This could be a daily 'game' you play.

Hope it helps!
