Or am I just being ridiculous?
He had lots of speech and language issues at the start of school (basically didn't talk at all until 3.5 so had a lot of catching up to do). These have mostly resolved and he's doing brilliantly from where he started from, but am worried he's starting to slip through the net at his school.
His teacher doesn't seem worried because he has made some progress, but I am. He's been on a green book band since Y1. He still guesses really wildly based on the first letter and can't seem to blend.
I just want someone who can give him a bit of a boost, perhaps go right back to the basics of phonics without making him feel stupid in front of his class.
DH thinks I'm being ridiculous and he'll catch up - but don't want him to feel like he's struggling yet is too embarrassed at school to ask for help.
I've tried teaching him myself but he hates it, and we both end up frustrated and unhappy.
