A colleague has a child in their class who is a very reluctant writer but loves to draw (and for their age, is very able). I've suggested that they try the approach of using letters to begin drawings. In that way, the child will be writing without really thinking about it. The child could try other letters as starting points. I've suggested that they develop it by adding simple captions, speech/thought bubbles to the drawings. The child could then be encouraged to create storyboards with simple narratives.
Let's see how it goes.
