I have been concerned about DS's reading and writing for some time and have been into school twice with my concerns. The first time the headteacher said he was predicted a 2a in his SATS. I remained unconvinced following a bad OFSTED report which raised considerable concern about reading and writing standards in the school.
I then went to see his class teacher who told me DS was predicted a 2b and that he had moved to the top table in english/writing.
However, we now have the results and he is a 2c and I have been told he will have to go into an extra help group, taught by a TA, outside the main classroom.
My issue is that why was this not dealt with earlier and why was I misled.
He is a bright enough child and was a 2a in maths, despite the current chaos in the school meaning he only had one hours maths per week. My husband spent time with him at home.
I am really worried about him being isolated from his peers and I know I can improve on this by working with him at home. Before Autumn term can anyone offer me some advice on how to move matters on for him?
He can read but his reading lacks fluency, expression and he appears to have a lack of comprehension.
His school reading record just records his reading as "lovely...".
Any advice?
