Hi there. Wondered if any of you could offer any advice.
My kind & nice natured ds is struggling at school. He's particularly bad at maths, especially the 'Fred has 30 sweets, he shares them out between 5 friends. How many does each friend get?' kind of question. He's not so bad at the straight forward maths questions though. He's a brilliant reader but often fails to comprehend what the stories are about. He has good general knowledge & a great memory (for things that interest him) but seems to struggle with processing problems & then solutions. His teacher recently said that if only she could get what's there in his brain out & into something appropriate on paper he would be doing great. He's in year 2 & for his SATS they've predicted a very low score for English & maths - I think it's so low it's classed as a U. She has suggested we get him assessed for SEN which we've agreed to but she said it can be a slow process and he doesn't fit comfortably into the usual categories so might take longer. Also, he's a young 1 - born mid July (prematurely by 5 weeks) if any1 thinks that makes a difference. I feel upset for my lovely boy as he's becoming more aware & anxious about his limitations at school. Thanks for reading.
