Obviously my dd is at the expected level for the end of year 2 but she is very unconfident so she doesn't speak out, panics at the slightest thing which particualrly shows in any form of speaking and listening/science where you have to generate ideas. Because i have three younger children, we haven't done anything outside school for ages and I very rarely hear her read etc and I wonder what I could do to improve her confidence in general and thinking skills. Her levels just now ( at the end of year 2) were:
Science 2
writing 2a
reading 3
maths 3
speaking and listening 2
so not behind but she hardly says anything in class and is unable to think about anything other than just following learnt rules
