Hi, first time written, but have been looking thru lots and lots of posts and its helped me wonders in other problems.....
im a young single mum and working ridiculous hours to make ends meet (night shifts so im almost always tired) while my daughter stays with my mum/sister depending who's available. My daughters now in year 1 and already we've been told she's struggling at reading, phonics, literacy - obviously it all co-incides when she was in reception. now she's in year 1 my biggest worry is she's never going to catch up and always be behind and its going to be an endless struggle! (i already feel guilty that she's coming from a one parent family and her dad has no interest but she thinks he's still amazing if she gets a £3 teddy at christmas) and i often think about packing in work completely to try to help her more at home but want her to have a ''work ethic'' - i cant expect her to go out and work hard when she's older if her mum doesnt.
sorry, im rambling :)
is anyone else's 6yr old struggling at school? what did you do? im hoping someone can give me some advice, she's struggling with the very basics like 'the' and just guessing from pictures. am considering private tutoring - but even then wouldnt know where to even start looking for a reputable one?! any advice would be so helpful. thanks in advance!
