Just looking for a bit of reassurance.
Y1 DD is (I think) fairly bright but very underconfident. She is very verbal for her age but doesn't read fluently yet. Her maths are reasonable. I think both will come in time.
But I am feeling a bit stressed about her spellings. They started at quite a reasonable level in Sept with words like tie and time - but before half term they ramped up and had words like value and pew . We worked hard on them and she has consistently got 9 or 10 out of 10.
But last week, her test included cylinder , circle and cycle as well as some others. She got really over-faced by them and got only 6 right on the test. We have been as positive and low key as possible but she was quite upset.
Do those words sound hard for Y1? And how can I help her revise better? We currently do flashcards, cloze exercises and a mock spelling test where she gets chocolate buttons for every word she gets right.
Just really don't want her to feel behind the others.
