DH and I had a meeting with dd's teacher today and we expressed concern that she was working below her year level.
The teacher agreed and said pretty much in all areas that dd was working at the year below. DD is working in the lowest set for all areas and she is aware of it. She is an avid reader though and enjoys reading stories every night.
We have suggested a tutor however her teacher felt this was perhaps not the best idea and just to keep with current concepts over the summer and said he would be happy to provide some extra resources and pointers.
I understand where he is coming from however we both feel that DD would benefit from a tutor over the summer months to help her prepare for the next year. As I'm conscious that the more she moves up at school the bigger the gap will get. The school have put steps in place for her so she doesn't fall behind further and the gap doesn't widen but I'm just thinking surely we can help her get that bit of extra help to help bring her up to be working at an average level ?
She is quite an anxious child and is getting a bit upset at the thought of being so behind and 'different' to her peers.
