I wrote on here last month about my 6yo dd, who I suspect may have dyslexia or perhaps dysgraphia as there are problems with her handwriting (in short, she frequently confuses b/d, p/q, s/z; her handwriting is untidy; there is no uniformity in letter size; she mixes upper and lower case letters and cannot write to lines or margins). My dd is bright, has an amazing verbal vocabulary, is sweet, sensitive amd artistic
I raised the issue with school who have been monitoring her. She has had extra sessions with the SENCo.
However, she failed her Y1 phonics test (24/40). School phoned today to ask for my consent to get the Specialist Inclusion Support Service involved during the first 1/2 term in Y2. I have confidence in the school, I'm glad that they are intervening and that any problems should be identified within the first 1/2 term in September. But I feel a little sad about it, tbh.
Can anyone offer any advice? How to prepare/support dd; what I might expect from the intervention? I'm just feeling a bit low after the phone call earlier, then her pleasing school report which has shows this glaring problem.
