I have posted on this before but he is despairing me again!
I need advice on how to help him, he is my 1st child through school so I am learning how to teach reading...can anyone offer advice.
The background is that is in 6, (summer baby) in Yr2 and has always found reading hard, but really made good progress in yr 1 and we were pleased with him.
Now in Yr2 he has gone backwards completely, he is struggling to read books he read in reception, he can't sound out words, he cant spell (writes a random selection of letters) and I despair.
The problem is that if I catch him at the right moment he can read and spell perfectly well but most of the time he doesn't try or want to try and prefers to say I can't do it....
The school are being very good, his teacher thinks we just find to press the confidence button to push and have enrolled him in their early birds scheme which is 1 to 1 support for 1/2hr before school 4 days a week.
.....but how can I help him get the confdence to know he can do it!
