DS is in Y2, will be 7 in March. His reading is below the level it should be for his age, in fact he seems to have regressed, if anything.
Sat with DS after tea while he read some of his school book, and he struggled with what I would think are basic cvc words, e.g. can, got, hat. He was sounding out each letter to me, which is fine, but shouldn't he know these words?
He is, and has been since before Reception, having SALT, and when he started in Reception he struggled with many sounds, too many to list, but has come on in leaps and bounds (we have worked hard with him at home and he has had good support at school, to give them some credit). He now needs to just master 's' and 'k'.
is the delay in reading connected to his speech problems? is it a 'boy' thing? or will it improve as he develops? Feel I should be using flash cards to help him memorise words, but don't want to push him so he loses interest.
All thoughts appreciated.
