Our DS is in year one at our local primary, which he absolutely loves. While the school is brilliant at making children feel happy, the staff do not provide much guidance on how to help children along. DS is well below average in reading and writing, according to his teacher. She recommends 'more practice' but I don't know where to start.
While searching for tutors online I came across the Kumon method and popped into our local centre today. It seems like a helpful method - a little every day, tailored to every child.
Anyone out there who's tried it? Insiders' views and tips much appreciated.
