My 6 year old has been struggling with writing for a while. She’s very creative and loves school but is finding the ‘work’ bit of school hard.
Her reading is slightly above where she should be, her reading age is 6.5, it’s improved loads in the last 6 months.
Today her teacher spoke to me to say she’d like to put her in for a dyslexia test. Her written work can be very poor. She writes on phonics, not spelling things correctly. Sometimes she gets b and d mixed up. So sentences look like gobbledygook. She can read all of the words on her spelling lists and can write them when we practice. But it all goes out of the window when she’s back in the classroom and she gets them all wrong.
Apparently when the class was small, during lockdown, she made lots of progress and her written work improved. But she’s now getting ‘lost’ in the class of 30 again. She’s shy and would never be one to ask or put her hand up.
Has anyone got any advice on this type of dyslexia or how we can help her?
