Is this writing acceptable for a 5 year old in reception?

[complexo]

Child turned 5 at the end of April.
Would write things like eg below - you have to try and read the phonic sound iykwim

FRIS MLCM - (fairies welcome - inverting the W -)
LUV - (love)

At home child refuses to make an effort to read but likes to be readed to and usually ask questions about wht is written on a number of items. Reads very basic words.

Teacher insist she is not worried about child's progress or ability.

childrens writing can be very hard to read initially, don't know how KS1 teachers do it!!

Luv is spelt like that very often at the age, as they spell how they say it mostly so that can also affect spelling. Does child speak like "wata" or "wateR"?
If you are not happy how about trying to do more work at home? I often print out spelling worksheets from the internet, handwriting and more.

at that age*

Is not that I am not happy, I am just curious to see child's level, specially today that a parent at school date was really distresses saying that will move her child from school as the child's reading is rubbish.
I am not looking to compare with any other child and I try to support, I have resources at home but child likes doing colouring and writes what she wants to write when feels like but not on the writing book. She doesn't get any homework. She can say wateR, wata, wa'a and also water in my own language.
DD is happy, confident and loves school, so for me that is good, isn't?

Isn't?????????????????????????????????????????

Yes it is :)
Sorry I am so tired, but unable to sleep. I hope my other post didnt come across ... as I dno. Narky? I really didn't mean it too! My daughters school, I feel they don't push them enough, and as I am unhappy with that, I think thats why i worded it like that for you. Sorry. x
My daughter misses out E and A alot and sometimes puts 3 instead of E lol. They all get there in the end love. My daughter often puts luv too! and shes in YR, age 5

yes

no, twinkle, I didn't 'read' anything in your post, is just that we already work so hard in this household, we are always tired, and we did not have really a chance to chose the school it was the nearest one. I just don't want to feel guilty that I am not doing more or pushing at home, but she would rather role play with her toys, I let her, school will just get harder and harder, I let mine enjoy for now...Gosh, I want to enjoy the summer holiday toooo much before she goes to Y1.

Oh I know! I can't wait to have her "to myself" over the holidays. I have started planning a time table of activitys and "lessons" to do. Hoping to give her a little educational boost b4 yr1. My DS3 starts nursery too in sept! I am looking forward to starting all over again with him! but will still have another DC at home lol. x

Can your child read CVC words? ( ie regular 3 letter words like top and wet and fan)?

Your DD is growing up bilingual, and studies have shown that it takes bilingual children a lot longer to "get things" in both languages at the beginning, but that once they're 5 or 6 they really take off and they are actually at an advantage to monolingual children.

My nephew, who is now 6, was impossible to understand for the first 5 years of his life, because he was growing up in a bilingual environment. He would talk non-stop, and it was clear he was a very intelligent little boy with a great imagination - but no-one other than his mother could understand a word he said. He's now absolutely fine, and top of his class for reading and writing.

So don't worry.

They all learn at v different rates and really she is too young to tell. Dd went all the way through reception without learning to read although she knew the letters and could write bits. Then part way through the next year she suddenly (in 2 weeks) went from books with one line in to entire chapter books by herself.

All classes will have a range of achievement. At the end of a year there are usually a couple of children who write in sentences with full stops and capital letters unaided. There are usually also a couple who are still struggling to write the full range of letters. Most, like your child, are somewhere in between. Certainly not any reason to be worried. Looking at what our chid has written, I'd do more modelling of segmenting for spellling, as she is not writing down many of the vowel sounds in her words - but the fact she is having a go is very impressive.

Oh thanks everyone.

She's still very young and as she's bilingual that will make progress slower initially, but will be a bit plus for her long term. I would be happy that she's happy and loves school. Read to her lots at home and try and build up her interest that way.

That is very much like my daughter writes and shes about to go in to year 2, she writes luv like that and when writing other words she does it off sound so yes faries would come out something like that. Its about right at this age
