hello,
Hope you guys are well
my 7 year old son is struggling in school and I feel terrible as feel like I am failing him :-(
He usually gets low marks in school tests and struggles with reading/spelling ...he is below average in his tests and I found out today he is in the lower class for some of his subjects in school.
He struggles with his spellings so I tend to usually spend 30mins most evenings going through his spellings with him (going through each word and spelling it, re-writing and testing) and then another 15mins encouraging him to read. I try not to push too hard as he is only 7.
His homework is usually medium/hard in difficulty and I spend a couple of hours with him everyweekend to ensure he gets it right (he usually gets 'points' and 'stars' for his home work which is good as it seems to encourage him.
I know he is not as clever as other children in his class /school (others his age), but what can I do to support him so he achives the best he can ?
I usually spent evenings with him where he does reading, spelling tests with homework activitys over the weekend.
Your advice and support is very much welcomed.
Thank You
