My DS (6) is struggling with school and I want to help him as much as possible at home. The past 2 years i have asked the teachers to send home unfinished work, extra work and/or notes on areas i can work on from home. I have not recieved a thing. I cant understand why the teachers are not responding to my requests, surely my input at home would help both teacher and DS in the classroom??
As this approach has not seemed to work, I was thinking ideally I would like to speak to the teacher at the end of each month (just a few minutes) for some feedback. Ie any improvements noticed/areas we can work on. I know the main focus is reading and writing, but im just looking some regular tips like, practice counting backwards, counting in 2s, struggles with particular sounds etc.
Do you think this would be a reasonable request? (I understand poor teachers are stretched to the limit) and I will be seeing teacher and senco twice a year.
If all else fails, does anyone know a good website that would give me a good idea what I could be working on with him (yr2/primary 3)
P.S DS is on Action plan stage one, but this really is not suggesting anything that is going to help much.
