DD started P1 in August - she is 5. She is happy at school and tries REALLY hard - but she's struggling. It's very frustrating reading all these threads where 4 and 5 year olds seem to "get" reading as soon as they start school. dd can barely recognise 4 of the phonic sounds she is meant to know.
"reading" is a joke - she points at the word while guessing wildly.
Anybody else in the same boat? I am lucky as at least she enjoys school - and loves doing all this extra work teh teacher has sent home for her.
