Had Parents Eve last night. DD's teacher has said that she is below the national minimum targets.
I was floored.
Had absolutley no idea, I read with DD most days, she knows all her letters and can blend them to make words.
I asked what targets it was that she's not meeting and was told numeracy and literacy. DD can't number mid-teen numbers. (i'm not so worried about this as my older daughter couldn't do this in year 1 either.)
Since starting in Yr1 no body has written in DD's reading diary - only myself. I ask DD regulary "has anybody read with you in school today" - to which she mainly replies no. Sometimes she reads within a group.
Can you put this in perspective for me, it's making me feel down. I really believe my beautiul DD was sharp, on the ball and didn't miss a thing. I feel I've failed her somehow.
