I have been worried about DS (age 6) who is in Y2. Since reception he seems to have been behind his peers academically. I've always been told 'he's fine, he'll catch up, summer born, etc' although his teacher last year did put some extra help in place (1 or 2 extra sessions a week). I mentioned to his new teacher that he is quite behind and he just said 'Yes, he is' but didn't really offer support.
For context, his reading level is 4 of the Biff/Chip. Often he doesn't know the high frequency words such as 'there' or 'this', he always sounds out 'd' as 'b' and his writing is often illegible. He is supposed to be doing cursive writing this year which is a joke. Maths is quite basic, he often asks whether 'thirteen' is a one and a three.
So, he is having a private assessment this weekend, I just wondered if anyone else had done this and what the outcome was?
thanks very much
