Generally, its a lovely report, lots of nice comments about ds behaviour and kindness and friendliness etc. He was 5 last month so he is one of the youngest in the class. He goes up to year one in September.
However, in literacy and numeracy he is and I quote - "working below ELG" (early learning goals).
In the other 4 learning areas he is either "working at or above the ELG" but I am concerned because at the bottom of the report it states that;
"By the end of Reception children should be working to ELG in all 6 areas of learning".....and my ds obviously isnt and this is the first I have heard of it.
I am not really that surprised in one way as he loves to be "on the go" and it is a struggle to get him to do any activity for more than 15-20 mins and, frankly, I think he finds sitting reading and counting boring.
(He hs also had quite a bit of time off school for illness too since starting reception - I am not sure whether that could be part of the problem)
Is there anything I can do over the holidays to help him with his literacy and numeracy?
I always assumed that no news was good news and if there was a problem the teachers would let me know, but that obviously hasnt happened.
Any advice greatly appreciated.....
