hi
i would really like some advice please dd is in yr 2 and has been struggling with reaing spelling and writing since yr1.
when she started in yr 2 in september 6 weeks later she had parents evening and i was told that she was behind the other children.and if she didnt sort of catch up by christmas they were going to bring the educational women in to test her for dyslexia
well cut a long story short i have been told today that my daughter has a memory problem she does not have dyslexia but trouble remembering the words which is holding her back when i asked could they put her in the reading group i was told shes too old when i asked why another child was in the group she told me its to do with ages and she missed it by 2 months
she then went on to tell me that she will never be academic.......... i am at a total loss as what to do the teacher said that she is a bright child and cant understand why the penny hasnt dropped regarding the reading
i am so worried now and i think a couple of times a week extra reading with the ta is goning to help any ideas on what i can do
thanks in advance
