Not a boast stealth or otherwise "exceptional" was the wording on a letter from school following some recent tests invisting ds for special reading/English enrichment lessons. In these he will be exposed to classic literature, poetry and a host of other challenging extension activities.
The only thing is I really, really can't see ds wanting to read classic literature when all he is interested in is Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, Super Diaper Baby & Pokemon. He obviously needs to be challenged but I couldn't even persuade him to try one of the David Walliams books last week. He will read Roald Dhal but that only becasue we went to see Matilda the musical and we are all obsessed with it :)
On the plus side the letter has sent his confidence sky high (he is not at all confident due to being a perfectionist) and actually struggles with some aspects of English and especially decision making.
