Hi, posting about ds who has just started Y3. I spoke to his teacher as we are concerned about handwriting and literacy (didn’t pass SATs) and was below + in Y2. Everything else was expected.
She said that he was now below in all areas, I don’t understand as he has just started Y3. To clarify, this is not one of the my ds is so advanced but the school doesn’t realise posts. He IS struggling and I’m fighting tooth and nail for him. He is on the waiting list for OT. I’m pretty sure that there is ADHD and or dyslexia as well. I’m saving up for a private assessment. Y2 was a write off as teacher said he was just lazy. I bet he is trying harder than anyone else in the class. But. He isn’t coping with the work.
I understand the pressure on recourses. I’m not asking the school to magic it at away. I just want an acknowledgement that he has an issue so that he doesn’t get shouted out, kept in at break times etc for his poor handwriting.
I feel like I’m doing this blind. He IS behind, reading level purple despite reading every night and ya reading to him. The writing is impacting everything else ie he knows his timetables but doesn’t pass the weekly tests as he can’t finish it in the 3 minutes. Ditto spelling.
He has now developed nervous ticks and is anxious most of the time. It breaks my heart.
Any advice? Any senco tutors in SE London that can help me?
