Year one

[madmum04]

I understand levels arent everything and kids progress at different stages however at this point of the year my little girl is at the boderline of reaching a 1c in everything and theyre hoping that by the end of year one or whenever they do the final assessments it will be a definate 1c, she was at W when she went in to yr 1 and W at christmas so shes on the boderline now of that 1c so has clearly made some progress but just wondering whether it sounds like enough.

Sounds like she's struggling a bit.

A 1c is a little bit behind, but not very much.

Most kids go on to make huge gains in Y2.

If school are worried, then you should be.
If school arent worried, then you only need to worry if you think there's something wrong - as opposed to just being a little bit behind.

Because if there isn't anything (like dyslexia) wrong, then every reason to believe she'll do better next year.

So don't panic because of the level. Only panic if you know there's more to it than the level.

I don't know what levels my dd finished Y1 on as at the time they didn't tell you (that has changed now) but I would say she was where your dd is now, she didn't hit all her EYFS goals and was at W for reading and speech and language although she did hit goals for writing. She has speech problems and this knocked on to her reading and general literacy.
Now she is just finishing Y2, she is working at 2a in literacy and maths and just hitting a 3 in science.
As indigo says, Y2 can bring huge advances, for dd things just started to slip into place and she found strategies to help her overcome the issues her speech problems created.
I would talk with the teacher to see if there are any areas that they are concerned about and take it from there, don't despair though, Y2 really starts to bring together everything they have learnt over their first few years in education and lots of children who end Y1 below average end up finished Y2 on target or above.
