Hi. I have been concerned about DD's skills in literacy for a while now, she's 8 years old and in Y4. I'm particularly concerned about her spelling and the fact that she still often reverses bs and ds. She has a spelling test every week at school and normally does well, but only because she practices the words literally hundreds of times for a week beforehand. Her general spelling is not good at all. Also she still struggles to tell left from right. her reading on the other hand seems OK, and she's good at maths.
I mentioned my concerns at the last parent's evening but her teacher didn't seem overly concerned (mainly due to her good spelling test marks).
Should I be concerned that, at 8, she is still reversing letters and getting basic spellings wrong? If so, what's the best thing to do about it?
Many thanks.
