I'm so frustated, I really need to come up with some strategies to help my dd. She is 5 at Y1 in a state primary. At the beginning of the school year, the SENCO approached me to give some tips on how could I help with phonics and reading because SENCO thought ddi wasn't reaching her full potential. Ì tried to push for a assessment for dyslexia since there are cases in my husband's family, but senco said it was too early. Anyway since than I have been doing what I can to help but it is hard for me too since English isn't my mother tongue. Dh understand he has to help but doesn't really do anything and blames his dyslexia. Anyway last night I discovered that dd also struggles hugely with numeracy too, she doesn't recognize any number above 10 and struggles with simple calculations like 2+2 or 5-3 even using. beads for helping counting...I know I have to increase the work we do at home even if dh doesn't help, but should I also hire tutor, pay kumon.? Change school?
I feel so disappointed in myself I'm letting her down and I couldn't help showing my disappointment.....it is a very sensitive issue since I was let down by school and parents education wise and so was dh and we always feel we wasted time and didn't reach our potential. I want dd to better.
