My ds is 9 and has specific learning difficullties in literacy although he has been assessed as being very bright also.
Each year his school do a project in year 5 where they have to write 250 words about a historiacl character of their choice. They then have to learn this by heart and 'perform' their speech in character to the parents of the year 5 classes. Some children would love this I know, but my ds just doesn't want to do it. We have done the speech but he struggles to read and remember it. Apparently his teacher has said that if the children don't know it he will be very cross. My ds doesn't tend to tell lies or exaggerate what the teacher says - has been assessed at being in high risk category for having AS. Do you think that I should insist that he does this or not?

Should I insist that my ds joins in with class performance if he doesn't want to?
