Hi there
My son is in year 1 and his teacher has suggested he sees an educational psychologist as he is a bit behind in his literacy and doesn't focus when working independently. As a teacher, I feel he is only behind at this particular school because they are very focused. Certainly at the school I teach at he wouldn't get a look in! My son is writing reasonably well and is on Oxford reading tree stage 5.
I am very wary about getting an ed psych involved as I worry that it will actually hold him back by labelling him. Obviously if I felt there was a need I would embrace the idea.
Thoughts please!!!
