Very little writing produced
Always 'too tired' to read/ write at home
Cries a lot at writing tasks
Can't copy anything written
Reversal of some letters (even her own initial) and reversal of lots of digraphs and short words ('fo' for 'of' for example)
Reversal of numerals and digits within numbers (not a place value issue as she is excellent with this)
Despite good phonics based teaching of reading, will often see a letter in the middle of a word and make a guess from that, or will read the last syllable in a word first.
Struggles with some printed texts - capital letters, different fonts (especially 'a')
She's always loved being read to and can often be really fluent when reading aloud.
Handwriting is joined, cursive, well sized, legible.
She is hugely imaginative and loves to draw and tell stories.
Good logic and mental maths, although written output at school looks minimal.
Any alarm bells for anyone?
Thanks.
