Dd is youngest in her year and I feel like she's struggling. She's saying she doesn't want to go (but is fine when there). Reading is something she finds hard. She can sound her letters so gets some words but can't seem to memorise the ones you can't sound out. She's finally able to write her first name without the e being upside down. But that's it. I'm worried she's getting left behind but don't want to do too much at home as it seems to upset her so I'm trying to balance helping her with giving her time to play.
It's hard as dd1 was 6 months older when she started school and is very bright so by end of reception was reading without help and writing paragraphs. It is an unfair comparison so I've tried not to compare or worry but now I am worried dd2 is way behind her peers. No idea what to do or if I should do anything.
