Ds is 9 (Y4) and recently had an interim report with their current levels on. He is at 3a for Reading and Maths. It says 2a/3c for writing. We have been informed that 'This term your child will be accessing additional writing in order to acheive their full potential and make good progress. It may take the form of extra lessons or as part of existing lessons' (in a nutshell).
It's just the word 'Intervention' that makes it sound serious and I wonder if he is really that far behind to warrant this? Can I make it clear I am very happy this has been identified as an issue and that he is in line for some extra help - we just didn't see it coming and it's panicked me a bit. He's always disliked, vehemently - rather than struggled with, writing.
Make me feel better and tell me it's nothing too serious and they really are just trying to get him to his potential rather than being seriously worried about him.
I know I sound a bit drippy and some of you will want to tell me to get over it! Please don't shout at me and eye-roll!!!
