Hi, thank you to anyone who reads this! I am very concerned regarding my daughter and would love some advice as I don't want to appear a problem parent to the school.
Basically, my daughter is struggling. She is in year 6 and is well below average in anything literacy based. Her comprehension skills are very poor and she struggles to retain information. I am concerned that she has slight special needs so I am paying for her to be assessed privately.
Her teacher has been very cooperative with this, but after receiving back some forms today that he had completed for me in preparation for her assessment, I have become concerned about a few things and would really appreciate advice.
Firstly, she has been on a IEP since year 1, but see from the completed form that she is no longer on one. I do intend to speak to the school about this but wont have chance until Friday. I was under the impression that an IEP would not be stopped without discussion from the parents first?
The form also said that she receives extra help each week in the form of two 50 minute sessions (consisting of 5 children). I thought she was receiving extra help daily so also not sure whether to bring this up and would like advice as to what tends to be the norm?
I'm really sorry for the length of this post, I just want to know if my concerns are valid I guess. I really like her teacher so don't want to offend him!

Daughter is considerably below average at school, but I'm not sure what extra help she should be receiving?
