DD1 is in yr1, she's quite sensitive soul and needs lots of reassurance and encouragement. Lately she's been getting very despondant about her schoolwork - in tears as she's the only one still on red book band and everyone else gets different spellings to her because of this. She's been throwing lots of tantrums - throwing books around and saying she's 'rubbish at everything' :( I don't know what to say to her apart from that if we keep practicing she'll soon get better and trying her best is the most imporatnt thing, but its getting harder and harder to motivate and encourage her. It hasn't helped that her teacher has been off sick for the past 3 weeks so she's had a succession of supply teachers so I don't have anyone at school to ask about this. How can I help her?
