I've wrote on here recently to say my child's always at the back on tapestry and seems the same kids are always at the front etc. I'm aware from conversations with the teacher that my daughter's getting there slowly in most areas but she's bottom technically at everything compared to the other kids.I find it all a bit confusing because she got a merit for completing her f
Phase two phonics last week and I was really proud of her. at the parents evening this week the teacher said she's taking a long time to pick up her phonics but she obviously just wasn't ready and she still slowly getting there. Even though I know what the teacher was saying it was worded to make it sound as though the merit was not that great. I was kind of hoping that she was doing really well with her phonics and that's why she got a merit not because she's finally got there slowly after everyone else.
since she started school I've noticed that other kids seem to just be so much more confident and so much more brainier.I've been obviously questioning whether I did enough as a parent. I was a stay-at-home mum but she did her nursery and she went to play groups and stuff. I read with her at home and we played lots of games and she had lots of one-on-one time with me in the first three years. she's coming across at school like she is not really with it yet as much as the others. It just makes me feel like I've missed a trick somewhere and even though I'm really proud of her, I do worry that she's being treated as the one that just doesn't know what's going on around her, so they just leave her to it now.
I saw a Facebook post last night that one of our local preschools had given a particular friends son a Oxford tree reading book to take home. She said he had smashed it . This is one of the books out of the set that my daughter is currently reading in reception and she's had this book in the last few weeks. I thought to myself is this why she looks behind if other preschoolers were given these Oxford tree reading books last year, a year before they start school. it just feels like every child gets a different start now and they are all so unequal because of it. Is it a normal thing for a pre schools to be sending them home with reading books?
I'm not trying to find anyone to blame for the way my daughter is. It is how she obviously is at school but it's always hard to hear your child's not doing as well as the others, even though you can see she's doing really well in your eyes. I'm not sure if her teacher is naturally a bit negative and she tends to compare the children even though she shouldn't be doing. It's like she goes to no effort with us to shelter us from the fact other kids are doing so much better and I'm not sure why she has to point that out every time we talk.
I don't want to make the mistake with my youngest of not having him ready for school. He goes in 2.5 years. I just don't know where I've gone wrong.
Sorry if I sound bitter. I just want my child to at least be average and not always below average.
I'm also worried year one is going to be far to much for her. She will be expected to be more with it in september as it's year ones and twos in together. I wish I could help her.
