Dd2 is not doing well at school; they're not worried but I am. She is in bottom groups and doesn't seem to be progressing in her reading etc much
She is very bright, very imaginative, and I guess as I was academic at school I having difficulty with this
dd1 is disabled; I wanted dd2 to just sail through. I don't think she likes learning at school - she's always moaning about how much hard work it is and how there's no time to play - and I know because of dd1's disabilities I haven't really got on with the whole learning the flashcards thing as I should have because I just thought she'd get it because she was bright
doh
anyway short of just dragging out the flashcards again and boring ourselves to tears is there anything you can suggest? I've googled and googled for computer games because she loves poisson rouge - if there was something fun and easy with letters in I could use that and she'd think she was getting a treat by having computer time
Her teacher is a bit meh, to be honest - thought she was quiet. Dd2 is NOT quiet.
