Curious about perspectives and experiences. DD has just finished Y2. She is on SEN register but not diagnosed. she 'passed' dyslexia screening as her phonological knowledge is quite good. The LA dyslexia specialist still thinks she has dyslexia, but the screening test is too blunt to pick it up.
In Y1 school weren't interested and I concentrated on doing systematic phonics stuff, dancing bears etc. In Y2 they put her on SEN register and did lots of 1-2-1 in both maths and literacy which brought her on loads. I concentrated on maths - number lines, place value, number bonds. In SATs she did okayish: 2Cs reading and maths, 1B in writing.
So I am wondering about Y3 - could I just leave it to the school? If research says homework doesn't help primary school children is it the same for SEN kids? (In practice I'd never do this because I want to see how she is doing).
There are many maths and spelling programmes we could sign up to: Nessy, apples and pears, IXL, mathsfactor etc. But because she learns very slowly, needs systematic learning, repetition, little and often etc. It's an either/or so how do I choose most important to work on.
In practice I'll obviously talk to her teacher next year and work with her. But what's my role as a parent of child with extra educational needs? How much should I be teaching her? To what extent should school be providing enough?
