Hi all i need some advice please and would be greatful for any opinions
Ok so my ds is almost 5 and in reception. He goes to a school which is not his first language school because i would like him to be billigual.
Ok so they have had some issues with the head teacher and have had acting heads since he started,because it isnt his first language i have been in very close contact with his school to ensure he is progressing and it is not hindering his education at all ..We meet at the end of every half term for about 15 mins. He has been identified to have some concentration issues but this could be down to the language and also he has not been the best sleeper.
Ok so we had time off at easter and had a HUGE breakthrough with sleeping and when he returned to school his behaviour was superb. He has not been coming home with a reading book at all since starting and only started with letters after feb half term. He eventually got a reading book the week we went back after easter because i asked his teacher for one.
Ok so teacher has now gone off sick and we have had 3 teachers already this week in his class and its only wednesday...No one knows whether he can have the next book yet,or whether he is progressing or not he is in a class of 40 children and im worried he is going to be "left" as 90% of them are fluent in the language of the school!!!
I know i am fussing but he only has 8 weeks left of reception and these weeks pass so fast he might then begin year one not reading properly and then become frustrated (or i will)
I have an appointment at another school tomorrow and need some questions to ask ...it is still not his first language but it is a much smaller school so he might then be given more time from the teacher.
Any advice or help with questions ill be greatful (Im going out for a bit now so wont be able to read or reply for a while.)
Thanks you
