Ok, i know this is a PARP subject for lots of people, but it's a serious concern for me.
Ds is at pre-school - he's one of the oldest kids in his year as he's September born so he's 4.4 yrs. He's dyspraxic with some Asperger's like traits so he has his problems.He is very bright though, and I think we are only just realising, though talking to his senco/ot etc just how bright.
He can breeze through all the 45 sight words he's supposed to know by the end of reception, and I'm pretty certain he can also read all the words he's supposed to know by the end of yr2.
I really love his school, and the Senco is wonderful and they are talking about the Gifted and Talented register and extension work, but does that actually work? I really want him to love school and he adores learning and I don't want him to be bored witless and go off the whole idea of school. Does anyone have experience of what will actually happen?

DS could read before school and when I told his teacher this she assessed him and put him on the apt book. As far as I cn tell they do very little reading in school and most is done at home. Ds is also very good at maths and they don't really accomadate this other than to say how good he is.

His writing is poor and this is what keeps him on his toes iykwim. I think thet do a lot more writing at school than anything else.
