My ds is 5.5. he is in year 1 and i went to his parents evening last night. last parents evening she said he was an 'exemplery student, a pleasure to have in the class, always does as he is told, knows all the routines and was doing brilliantly at everything apart from handwriting (which he is crap at!)
anyway, i expected the same this time. but she said she had 'concerns about his ability to process information' i wasnt sure what she meant really but she said she was going to mention it to the headmistress to see if they can find a way to help him.
she said he is always last to finish his written work.but he si very slow with everything. i would say thorough! he spends a while washing his hands after going for a wee, and ages telling a story, and ages wiping his bum etc. i think his problem is he is a 'thinker'. he remembers EVERYTHING. i once told him he should wipe his bum 3 times and then once more 'for luck' and now he religiously does it 4 times because he was told to. i think and hope that he spends so long doing everything because he is thinking about it so much. i asked him to write a sentance for me last night to see how slow he was. and instead of just writing it he said " do i have to follow all the rules for writing a sentance? do i have to do a capital at the start? does it need a comma in the middle or not?" surely other kids would just get on with it and write it?
ANYWAY........she made it seem like it was something to worry about, but i am still not sure exactly what she was trying to get at.anyone any ideas? anyone still reading?
she ended up by saying he was above average for literacy and was doing really well with maths and reading.
