Ds started yr3 a few weeks ago. Last year his report, whilst hitting all objectives but not excelling, was littered with comments about needing to focus, is easily distracted etc. He is a summer boy, so just turned 7 2 weeks ago, so I know this is not unusual.
Does anyone have any tips on how to spur him on a little? If I'm at home reminding him to keep going with things, he will do it, but if I leave him for 5 mins and come back, he'd probably only have done 1 sentence. Does anyone have any experience with having a cohesive strategy at home and in school? I feel anything we do at home needs to be backed up at school (obviously vice versa too) as he is doing the majority of his school work there.
I know he needs to settle back in but I'd like to support him as much as I can this year, as all chats with his teacher last year didn't lead us to believe there was anything to worry about but then there were numerous comments in his report...
Any insights greatly appreciated!
