Dd was meant to start school in January, but we were only offered a place at a failing school, so we held out and now have been allocated our first choice. Dd will start in September, but go straight into year 1. I am worrying about how far behind she will be. I spoke to one of the other mums todya an she said they will all be able to read by the end of reception. Dd cannot read. She is very good at recognising her letters as her nursery were really good at introducing phonics, but I'm now worried that she will start at a real disadvantage. They do Oxford Reading Tree, should I try and get hold of some books and start doing a 'lesson' every day over the summer? Do you think the school would lend us the books over the summer? We are going to speak to the headteacher on Friday and it's my main concern really. Just how possible is it that I can catch dd up to a good level before September??
