Another reading one I'm afraid. Just wanted to hear if others had experienced similar. My DS is in year 2. Reading progressed well in reception, he seemed to grasp it really quickly and ended the year on Green level which we were told was ahead of expected levels.
In year one he really seemed to slow up and had only just moved on to Turquoise at the end of the year. I know this an expected levels for this stage but not a great deal of progress from where he started.
I wouldn't have thought much of it but he has started to notice, and mention, that other kids in the class are moving ahead of him, those he was reading alongside (they read in groups as well as individually), are moving up the levels so comparatively he's progressing more slowly and so slipping down the groups. Doesn't help his friends are all very able readers so he feels like he's the odd one out.
He did fine in the phonics test, fluency is pretty good as is his comprehension and teachers haven't mentioned anything specific. I just wondered if anyone else had experiences of a child that started off all guns blazing them seemed to come to a bit of halt!
