I am crap at meetings like this, as I get all flustered, even with a list, and especially if the person I am talking to thinks I am wrong.
So, Ds is 5 (december born), and coming to the end of reception. At the start of reception I raised concerns about Ds's pencil control, as he basically had non at all, couldn't draw, write or anything. I was reassured that he would be fine etc etc.
He has come on alot since Sept, and can now write his name and will try to write other things, but his letters are pretty much unrecognisable still, and he regularly forgets how to write letters. He has gone from having a pencil grip so light that he dropped the pencil, to holding it so tightly that his hand aches. He also complains that he is no good at writing or cutting out, and will not write anything unless made to.
His attention span is very very poor and seems to have gotten worse, and he has started to get into trouble for not listening when he should.
In reading I also feel he is struggling. He will have a go at sounding words out, but only if I ask him to, and even then, unless the picture gives a clue to the word, he won't know it. I have also noticed recently that he sounds words out and then says them back to front, for example ON becomes NO, and MAN becomes NAM etc. He doesn't always do it, but I have noticed it several times recently.
He is on ORT 1+ but has to read a book at least 3/4 times before he knows it.
He has also not learnt all of his key words, and really struggles with anything that can't be sounded out, like they, and any word with more than three letters.
Basically, I am worried that he is starting to struggle and that he will not cope in yr 1 at all, but that said, I am not sure what I want them to do about it.
