She was alright in reception - the jump to year 1 has been quite big for her.
whereas in reception she was even a bit ahead in reading, she’s now emerging. She’s on orange books in RWI.
her writing was at expected level in reception but has slipped to emerging as well. Her writing is improving, but she’s definitely behind a lot of her peers. As became apparent to me in the Christmas cards we’ve received. She can do it, she just needs a lot of support.
any positive stories of how kids like this can catch up ? I think her verbal reasoning and that kind of thing is fine and not behind her peers. I’ve run her report through chat gpt and it said that it the ideas and understanding are there, but there’s a slight execution bottle neck that she’ll get through with practice and a bit of time.
the teachers praise her effort and say she’s improving, which I can also see.
if there were ‘ serious concerns ‘ the teachers may have mentioned it, right ?
any experiences welcome. I’m not extremely concerned at this point yet, but just wondering how I can help her along. I really do see her trying and she’s improving.
