Some of you have been following DDs story for a while, and it's her 9th birthday this week so I thought it was time for an update.
She's doing really well!
The big change is we've gone to Tinsley House - and it has been absolutely amazing.
In Sep her reading was a NC L1. She could hardly read at all. (Despite the fact that in July they'd told me her reading was a L2)
Now, in Jan, her reading is a L3! (So over 2 years progress in 3 months) She's reading far, far better. Still not fully fluent or independent. But well on her way.
Her spelling is still very poor, but again far far better than it was. She's using vowels now :) I can't read what she writes yet - but I can read far more of it than I could in Sep.
Her memory problems are gone. She can now learn new words.
And most intriguingly she now feels anger and sadness! Previously she was happy all the time.
This has the knock on effect that she's now unhappy that she's bottom of the class. But I think that's far better than being oblivious to the fact.
Her dyslexia isn't quite cured yet. But we are well on the way, and there is every reason to believe in a few more months it will be cured.
