Can anybody tell me what the P scales are?

[Bluesunbeam]

Ds(6) is on the p scales rather than the NC. I know this means he is working below level 1 on the NC. He is in year 1.

He is scoring 3 and 4 in all areas.

I can find info on p scales but not the actual scales and hoped someone could point me in the right direction?

Would have been nice to have been told earlier in the year that this was happening!

TIA

Intresting as I know ds is on p scales probably4-5 is going into year 1 can't read or write is still holding a pen in a dagger grip can recognise about 10 or 11 letters is minmal verbal to

Thanks silverfrog, hope computer is up and running soon. I would be so lost without it!

Think I need a conversation with senco regarding p scales. Ds holds his pencil in a very unusual way, school have tried pencil grips but then he refuses to pick up the pencil. He can't write many letters but just about the letters in his name, never in the right order though and in a very unusual way.

roundthebend4 my Ds must be scored wrong, especially since I have read a little about the p scales over the last day or two. Your ds sounds similar, with regards to letters as my ds a year ago.

this is where dd1's spiky profile ocmes in, though.

she knows all her phonics, and is beginning to sight read high frequency words.

knows her numbers (both in recognition terms, and in counting objects) up to 20

but she cannot make any mark on paper beyond a line, dot or cicle (scribbled), due to poor motor planning and control

it is really hard to try to see sense through it all...

her "worst" area, she is working at p4, I think, and in her "best" area, she is working towards level 1 -she's really up and down.

see ds is not that far advanced silverfrog , simlar issues with writing its apd rather than wont

but ds is defintley not sightreading or knows his phonics .*sigh he is never going to cope in y1 is he

oh, it just depends, roundhtebend4.

dd1 is at SN school - full time 1to1 tuition. before she started there in December, she could recognise numbers (but not reliably with counting reference) and knew about half her phonics (onlyknew those because we got the Jolly Phonics CD - she loves singing!)

but then she had known all that for a year, and made absolutely no progress at her last school, for the whole year.

it is onlysince she moved, and is now happy and comfortable, that she is learning. (she is coming to the end of year 1, technically, but since she is the only child in her class, who's counting )

I had a child (well, he's grown up now) who had very little voluntary movement of any kind - could use a 4 way switch with support - but he scored a P7. It can be adapted to cope with motor difficulties.

ds is of to a spech unbit in September but there now getting wobbly feet becuase there realsing just how much his pd going to affect him let alone how far behind he is

see think with right help ds be ok as he does love computers and is pretty handy on it

Ds got turned down for Mld school as he needed to muc help in way of his pd and language even though his non verbal cognitive skills are goodt
