My DS is a August born child who has always struggled at school not being interested in reading or writing until the last year really.
We've just had a parents evening and he's got IEPs for maths, reading and writing. We've always assumed he will catch up with his peers but are now thinking of the scenario of him being in a bottom stream at secondary school and what that would mean both socially and academically for him.
Just interested in any other people in this position. We are now considering private for secondary and possibly putting him back a year but not sure if this is the best solution.
