My summer born DS has just started a new school due to moving house. He has been there a few weeks but has started to cry and say he doesn't want to go. He says he can't do anything that the others can do. I haven't spoken to the teacher yet as he really has just started but I know he is in the lowest ability groupings for maths, writing and reading as it is quite obviously from the list of what each group is doing. Now if he is, he is, but he wasn't in his previous school and this new school is not at all high achieving (according to their last 2 years of SATs). His older brother is dyslexic, so maybe he is too( very strange neither me or DH or older sister are). He does struggle with writing. He can spell some words but often forgets finger spacing-has little interest in it and will only write 2 sentences at most so behind in that. however, his phonics were good in his old school-and he is reading on blue level books. His maths is ok-he can add in his head and takeaway sums like 11+2, 9-3 and count in 10's. He does often write his numbers back to front and some letters (I know can be a sign of dyslexia but also he is left handed and still only 5). He clearly is a long way behind a lot of his class, but would he be a long way behind in every school? I'm normally quite relaxed about this kind of thing-he's only 5 but it is the fact he is getting stressed!
