I've mentioned this on another thread, but today I got a letter from something called Senco (which I've never heard of) telling me that my DS's level of need has been raised to School Action. He started in reception in January and has just gone back into Y1.
He is 5 and 3 months, and as far as I know, it is simply because he cannot yet read. Although they haven't actually said that - they haven't said anything in the letter, just that they want to give him "greater support".
If it were just a question of giving him more reading lessons, although I think that is entirely unnecessary (plenty of time for him to learn to read), I'd reluctantly go along with it. (Reluctantly because I don't want him to be pushed to do something quickly which he may not be ready to do at all yet and I don't want him to be demoralised and start seeing learning to read as a chore not a pleasure.) But I'm slightly uneasy about him being labelled as behind so soon into the new term without any warning last year.
Am I worrying about nothing? Is this something I should welcome or be suspicious of?
