My 5 year old boy is just coming to the end of his first year at school & seems to have made no progress at all with his reading. This time last year, he pretty much knew all the letters of the alphabet & could write his name, but he doesn't seem to have moved on much.
On one level I'm not worried - he's settled in really well at 'big school' & it will come when he's ready ... but on the other hand I'm thinking that I don't want it to become a problem. They're learning with the phonics system. I find it really difficult to get him to sit with me & read the books he comes home with from school & would like to think of some other games/ideas I can do & play with him over the summer which help him learn so he builds confidence & it starts to fall in to place for him. any ideas???
