My dd2 (6) is really struggling at school.
She can barely read, so writing is a struggle too. Has trouble forming her letters and getting them the right way round. She also has an IEP for focusing and concentration.
I've just started paying for her to have some private tuition outside of school in the hope that she won't fall much further behind.
I can't help but think that the school isn't supporting her at all.
I can see a gradual improvement in her reading (I read with her nearly every day). At school last term, she only had somebody listen to her read, on average once or twice a month.
Her writing appears to be getting nowhere fast.
This Friday she came home with 3 lots of homework.
One arty type homework, spellings to be leart over the week (we will have to practice them every day, for her to have any chance of them sinking in) and also came home with the bloody class teddy to write about in it's special book.
AIBU to think she should be doing some actual learning at school and that she should be able to play and switch off a bit from it all at weekends.

To be pissed off at my 6yr old having 3 lots of homework!
