My daughter is six, in year one. She has struggled with her reading and writing since she started. She came home yesterday very quiet and about 5 o clock wandered into the living room clutching her teddy bear sobbing her heart out and saying she didn't want to do a busy bees book. This is the first i have ever heard of a busy bees book but from what she said it seems to be a small group of children who get taken out to try and help them with reading and writing.
She isn't upset about this in general but she was crying because she is scared if making mistakes and her teacher shouting at her and she just doesn't like writing and wants to draw. What can i say? I cant say oh ok you dint have to write - because she does!.
Her writing isn't imrpoving very quickly and i was shocked at parents evening to see other childrens work laid out on the table ( they hadn't put hers out :( ).
When we talked to the teacher she didn't seem the type to shout at the children at all so I think my daughter may be imagining this but nevertheless she is obviously struggling with even thinking about writing let alone actually writing.
She is late today because of the struggle ti calm, her down about the fact she does this busy bee book on friday. My husband took her in and is gogint to mentiong it to the teacher but what can i do to help her?
To be honestni find it incredibly frustrating i don't understand why she cant just concentrate on writing a bit more if she did and didn't get so easily bored with it I am sure it would be fine?
Any advice on this would be very much appreciated.
