Would really appreciate any advice. DD1 is 8 and summer born and just started year 4. She hates reading and it is a battle to get her to read. She is slow, uses her finger and guesses unfamiliar words, usually incorrectly. She has had a reading intervention every year but remains working within year group at the end of each year, but never at end of year standard. She passed her phonics screen though. I read all the time and read to both girls most nights. I will admit I have not enforced her reading every night because it is such a battle. I work full time, have health issues and she flies off the handle a lot. However, I am making a renewed effort this term, have made her a chart with rewards for daily reading etc. But she really does struggle. She met end of year standard in both maths and literacy so school are saying there cannot be an underlying problem like dyslexia. I just don't know what to think but how bad is lime in year 4. Is this recoverable? Do I need to force an intervention of some sort? I trust the school overall, but the teachers she has had in the last couple of years have been relatively newly qualified, and this year she has yet to read with a teacher but I guess this will be because most kids are free readers now?
Would appreciate any advice.
