dd struggled in reception as well, although improved in the final term. She just didn't seem mature enough for school (is summer bday), and wasn't interested for ages.
Now she has started yr 1, and already has had her english book sent home with extra writing work - she needs to work quicker in class the teacher has written. Her writing isn't great - she can write the letters but can't really form proper words much (apart from her name), and is only on stage 2 of the ORT.
She isn't impressed when she has to do extra at home, 'I want to play' is the response.
I dread her getting lines as punishment (they do this in yr 1, someone has already been threatened with it) - dd would take weeks to do hers!!
