My ds now 7 and in year two was graded at 1a- in maths and literacy at beginning of December and 1a for reading. he has made 1 sub level improvement since Sep. The teachers feel he is not understanding multiple instructions / understanding his work. they also feel he has communication and bonding issues. I do not see this at home. he is happy and bright and has a small circle of friends who come for tea, etc. he does dislike noisy kids and there are a few in his year. he was late talking and we took him to speech therapist. His speech now okay but still seeing therapist for pragmatics. the school sending infrequent mixed messages and i only getffeedback when i push for it. they have said he is not making the academic progress they expect.and think we need assessment . i thought 2 sub level s per year was expected. i am so confused and now extremely worried. anyone hadssimilar experience / any advice. Ds enjoys going to taekwando and stagecoach and not at all bothered about change. He is outdoors type, sporty and very good with motor skills

There are so many layers to learning. You may find that you and school are both right - that he can learn perfectly well in the nice comfortable setting of your own home, but the combination of noises, lights, distractions, etc., stops him learning in class. Or that he's great with concrete learning exercises, but struggles when concepts get abstract or he's expected to 'fill in the gaps'.
