my little one (just seven) is doing well at school and is particularly good at literacy. his story writing has been singled out as being very good. but his verbal communication isn't great at all. not day to day stuff - but if we read a page or two and i ask what has happened i will get the most garbled response! you can tell he can understand what he's read, but there are so many 'ums' and 'ahs' and 'no that's not what i meants' in there that it takes a bit of forbearance to get to the end of it. he was a late talker due to glue ear and we've been waiting or this stumbling speech to iron itself out. but i'm now wondering if we should have him seen by a speech therapist again, or is it just a matter of bearing with him? he's also shy with adults he doesn't know too well and will stumble over talking to them.
any advice would be great. thanks in advance
