DD started off well in reception, enjoying school, happy ...
In year 2 it soon became clear she wasn't picking up her literacy as fast as other, but I just thought she'd do it in her own time. She still put her hand up and joined in in class. I keep getting told she's very bright verbally and maths is fine.
Now in year 2 and she's not progressing at all, I struggle to get her to do anything at home, she just fidgits and I get hysterics if I try and insist - she keeps teling me she can't do things, even simple addition that I KNOW she could do in reception.
I think part of the issue is that DD2 was born last September and she hasn't recovered from this, she's been wetting the bed for the last 10 months (having been dry for 2 years). She's never been a great sleeper, but it takes hours for her to go to sleep now and I wonder whether it's all connected.
I'm getting more concerned as she seems to be going backwards now.
She says she enjoys school, loves her teacher, has friends (although not really a special one)
I guess I just want to know what you think is this normal? How can I encourage her (I've tried games, shopping lists, letters to the tooth fairy .....)?
Thanks
