My DS is 6, just gone into year 2.
He is currently on SA+ and we suspect asd but not severe.
He is still doing reception stage work for most things, mainly reading, writing and numeracy, he is better at the physical aspects of work - he is a kineasthetic learner.
He seems to have forgotten most of his phonics - he is ok with the single letter sounds but doesn't get any of the digraphs so even sounding out is not really working. He won't even attempt to try tricky words like "the"
He is on the red level of Oxford reading tree and struggles with that, I have to sound every word or he will just make up the story from what he sees or remembers.
I really don't know how to help him, my other 2 were free readers by the end of year 1, we have always read to them all as we all love reading except him.
He is also on the lowest level of reading - bag, bad, am, an and the - he spelt bad as bab and bag and ban.
I suspect he is dyslexic too but school won't assess until he is a bit older.
