Ds has always struggled with speech and reading.
Speech is much better now, but his reading is way behing the rest of the class (by about 4 ORT levels, so significant, SENCO involved with extra support) He is 6.
He has broken up school for the summer, but we read each day .....8 weeks gap is way too much for him.
We were reading the Apple Tree farm books, Him doing the top bit, me doing the bottom bit. We've been reading this series for a while and it is like getting blood out of a stone, he stumbles and needs masses of support and encouragement.
Well this afternoon, it was if a switch was flicked. Not only did he read the top bits, but bugger me, he read the bottom bit as well.
At the end I had to go and have a little weep!
miraculous!
