Hello,
I could really do with a spot of advice.
My DS is 5 and has just entered year 1, we have noticed that well to be honest its hard to engage him with doing reading or writing; as he thinks that by saying i cant do or dont know it someone else will do it for him; then he just smiles. I know he is pulling the leg of people, as when he is engaged in something he shows that he can do it.
The problem I have is that he is using this approach in class and it was noted in his Reception report, more so they have been assessed for group work in Year 1 and has been put in a group with people who well really struggle with basic skills or just prefer to monkey about.
I know he is only 5, but I need to work out how to get him to focus and switch on in class, as I am worried about this attitude sticking with him. Like I mention, it is a real drag to get him to do things like this, but once engaged he can do it. Any advice?
Thank you
