Apologies if I get this wrong it is my first time posting and I am feeling really upset and confused. My eldest is 7 has dyspraxia and has just started in year 3. There are lots of things he finds difficult especially writing and maths but he tries really hard - for example he can swim, he is getting there with riding a bike and has just learnt to tie his shoeleaces. He is ok at reading and loves science, history etc when he can shine in the class and show his friends what he knows ! My concern is that he suddenly seems to have been put in bottom groups for everything (with girls and no boys. I feel as though he is being seen suddenly as incapable. For example he came home with spellings to learn this week like sweet. I asked him verbally to spell all of them to me and he could - although as usual when writing them down he got 8 out of 10 as he gets letters back to front and sometimes misses some out ! These were spellings he had a year ago and he did as equally well then - it is as though no communication between year 2 and 3 has taken place.
We have always been told by past teachers that he was around average for most things except writing (he got 1b in his Sats - no change from the end of year 1) but managed 2a for reading, 2b for maths, 2 for science and speaking and listening. He has had an OT asst who said he should use a laptop in school which school agreed too but have not followed up yet. I know they have lots of kids to support but I just feel as though he has been written off and is just going to fall further and further behind. I need to speak to the teacher I know but I feel so angry I am worried it is going to come out all wrong.
