Dd is just turned 6 (august) and just gone into year 2. She is the youngest in her class, she's also considerably speech delayed. Her speech wasn't good at all when she started shcool but had improved vastly but still young for her age. She has an EHCP due to her speech delay. My oldest is autistic, Dd isn't believed to be autistic though.
She enjoys school, teacher last year said she's below expectations but improving. She's a confident, popular member of the class etc. Very artistic but struggled with both maths and English. She seems to love school.
But she cannot read at all. She recognises odd words but she cannot read any sentences or anything. We are always reading to her etc.
Her writing is improving but again it's just writing odd words.
I feel like a complete failure.
It hasn't helped she's had her first 2 years of school affected by covid.
I'm worried about the lack of support at the school. There's a fair few in her clsss bedding extra support both with EHCP's and not with ehcps. Ranging from learning difficulties, behavioural issues etc.
Despite having an EHCP I don't think the school are providing enough support.
I'm worried sick.
My son goes to the same school and has been well supported because his EHCP states he needs 1:1. DD isn't entitled to 1:1 support. Her EHCP is mainly about her speech and language needs.
But I have spoken to other parents who's children are not being given any support and I feel Dd is going the same way. Some parents have even taken their children out the school due to lack of support.
How can I help her improve at home? She's always writing, drawing etc. It's the reading I am most concerned about. She struggles with maths but we always do maths things at home. Teaching her to read is hard!!
Advice??
