Why is my 5 year old not "getting" reading or writing

[ThoseFemalesAreStrongAsHell]

Its really stressing me out .

Hes a bright boy with an amazing memory but hes still on reception level reading with all of his peers miles ahead. Hes left handed but his writing is messy and he just doesnt get it.

We read together every night but like i said hes got a good memory so the first time we read a book he wont know any words and ill help and the next he'll know the words 'read' them but its actually just him remembering from the day before. I just dont know where im going wrong.

Definitely don't leave small problems to become big ones by ignoring them (because they start school later in other countries).

@ThoseFemalesAreStrongAsHell I know this is an old thread but I wonder how is your son now? He sounds like my 5 yo DD.
