DS1 (14) is very badly dyslexic and reading, writing , spelling are a huge struggle. He gets reader & 25% extra time in exams
He gets a lot of help at school, I can't fault them , but is in year 10 and I have to spend a huge amount of time helping him with school work and revision. He's very motivated and wants to do well in exams and works so very very hard but achieves mainly c's which he then gets very down about.
I feel so sorry and worry for him. It doesn't help he's a summer born & one of the youngest in his year.
We are looking at colleges for him & thinking BTEcs might be better than straight A levels, but that will mean a different college to his friends.
I worry about his reading & writing ability and think how will he ever manage a job, college, is university a possibility.
