Hi, my DS is young for the year being born in July. He changed schools just after Easter and his new teacher says he is behind the rest of his new class. (I did ask quite direct questions). DS son is at a fab private school BTW. He is struggling concentrating, mixing with the children and phonics. DS knows his letters but sh, ch and th he isn't consistently getting right.
The teacher wants to see how is settles between now and Half Term as I asked if she thinks he would benefit from staying down a year. I am however worried that another change would really unsettle him. He looks right in the current Yr R group....
I am reading to him every night, he reads to me every night, I am going through ch, th, sh every night and he is writing them out as well inc in words, we are listening to the Jolly Phonics song CD on the way to school everyday (previously he was doing Read Write inc). I am scouring the internet for FUN phonics games...
I just want my little boy to be settled, mixing with the children and learning....
Any ideas??
