I have a very smart, switched on 5 year old boy, we are a mixed high volume small town first school. We have a 3 classes in Y1. He is in my top groups and the work he produces is very good. Mum and dad are lovely, engaged, keen for him to do well.
He is G&T for sports, drama, reading, he is polite and helpful, mostly a lovely boy.
However, he is struggling with listening, and needs to be requested to tune in, and kept on task for listening. He is smart enough to pick up on what we are doing, but sometimes he is not producing what he is capable of as he has not listened the 1st time to instructions.
What to do? He is certainly too smart to go on to my middle table, he doesn't need me or the TA to help him conceptually.
How can i help him listen?
What can i get the parents to do with him at home?
