My dd is in year 3, and she has always done brilliantly at school, been at the top of her class and is currently working at level 3b in all subject areas. But, her teacher says her spelling isn't good at all and she just isn't remembering and using the correct spelling 'rules' in her writing.
We know this has always been her weakness and she hates learning spellings. despite us working on them through the week she still struggles, but we have always been told before that she's doing great and will get it etc, however at tonight's parents evening her teacher mentioned that she may be dyslexic?
Has anyone else been in this position? The school have advised us to have her eyes tested first and then they'll do dyslexia tests within the school.
The teacher seems to think that if this area doesn't improve then her writing level won't continue to increase and that this will hold her back. she was always very enthusiastic about school, but we have noticed a change since she went into year 3 and she is worried and gets anxious about it all
Thanks for reading! Sorry for the long post!
