Am getting really concerned about DS2 who still cannot blend sounds together - I feel we are no further forward than we were 4 months ago
He knows all the sounds and is confident with these but, for example will say the sounds that make 'cat' so c-a-t and then say something completely random like 'bed' when you ask what word it is.
Parents evening a few weeks ago, the teacher just kept saying he will get there but did not explain how that is going to happen if we haven't made progress so far.
I am concerned he is just getting left behind so much from his peers who all seem to be on proper reading books and get 3 a week whereas we are still on the sounds books and only get 1 a week.
I don't know what to do or where to turn for assistance if the school aren't bothered but we are 2 terms in now and I am certain he needs further help.
Anyone else in this position?
