Hello,
My Dd is 6 in yr 1, she is very able but I wouldn't say gifted, she works very very hard. In reception she flew with her reading, and has great comprehension but this year she doesn't seem to have moved on at all. I wondered if she had been pushed too hard was ORT 10 at end of reception and fast so put her back 3 levels and took it slow, but she is just not getting any better ! Her phonics are secure she understands it all but it is just laborious and she doesn't really enjoy it. I have bought her all sorts of different books as the school books are quite frankly dire, but nothing is doing it for her. Her friends are all avid readers but I am lucky if she reads a few pages before losing interest. I read to her every night at bedtime which she enjoys to an extent but she prefers listening to songs on the iPhone. Her dad is not a natural reader ( very clever , loads of post grad qualification etc but never reads for enjoyment ) so am guessing she might just be like him ? Any hints tip or just stories of similar children who are doing fine please !!!
