Hi I have posted on before I think (or SN?)..but I have a bit more information now and just wondering if anyone has had any expierience of this.

DS3 is yr4...at the end of yr3 the week before his 8th birthday he was assesed by literacy support service(LEA) and I got her report a last week.

It was as I expected he is 2 years behind mothers instinct and no tests

His decoding/reading accuracy was 5.11 yrs

His Text comprehension was 5.09 yrs

They have not been moitoring his levels accuratly as when I was told his reading level(before I got above report) was 3b I just burst out laughing !!!

He has 1/2 hour lit support ix week with external teacher and I am given lots to do at home...but he also is given extra from TA (who is not his TA but help him last year and knows I/we want it and sorts it out in her own time !)

I suppose what ireally want to know is ......will he get there in his own time...ever ...or will he always be 2 years behind no matter how much I do at home with him .

He is under SALT/Comm pead/genetics/physio/OT as he has hypermobility issues...

I had bettter stop now as I wil just ramble and go away from my origional quetion !!!

I have asked for ED PYCH and got lots of nodding heads in agreement......but he hasn't appeared yet !!Grin

Thank you for reading....honest opions please...I can take it!!!!

Glad you flagged up that this was a zombie thread (am on my phone, which doesn't show dates routinely) as I was just about to point out that 3b, and other levels that have been mentioned, went out years ago!
