We sit down with the school books and words every night but he seems to be making very slow progress.
I am trying to not get too anxious about it as he is a July baby and still not 5 yet but it's the end of his first year and he still find letter/sound blending quite tricky.
He loves books and has 2 or 3 bedtime stories a night plus more in the day if we have time. He has the concentration to sit and listen to a book but I would like to encourage him with his reading a little more.
A friend with a DS in the same class is paying for extra coaching for her DS but I am not sure this is necessary (although am prepared to be convinced otherwise).
I am also going to have a chat with his teacher at the parents evening on Monday to go into his progression in finer detail and see what she says. His report was very positive, saying he tries very hard but unlike DD in Y2 we didn't receive and attainment levels just effort.
Just wondered if anyone could recommend a book/scheme or approach we might be able to dip into over the summer holidays.
