Hello
I was just wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea as to what progress my DS should be making in reception on reading/writing by this stage in the year.
The school he goes to is very relaxed (which I like!) but it is quite tricky to get to speak to the teachers about DS. I work so am often not there at pick up and have arranged after school meetings a couple of times but something has come up ( teacher absence/last minute teacher meeting/crisis with another child) I'm a bit worried I'm not going to manage to speak to someone until post Xmas.
I know he hasn't been there that long but he just doesn't seem to be making much progress from where he was at at pre- school. He can write his name and other letters and count to ten and beyond ( and usually write to ten) but doesn't recognise all letters yet. Can do all the letter sounds most of the time - so 'd d dog' type stuff. He can't do the basic words like 'i', 'he' that have been sent home from school.
He just seems behind his friends ( most of whom go to other schools), particularly on the reading and basic words and I don't know if this is because he is behind and there is stuff I should be doing more of? Or if it is ok?
He is in a big class as they do joint teaching the majority of the day ( so two classes of 26) and keeps telling me he finds school too loud and the teachers talk so loudly his head and ears hurt and he can't think properly.
Sorry this is so long . Any advice would be appreciated
