My Ds 8 needs me to be sat right next to him (it can't be across the room I have to be sat at the table with him) while he does any homework involving reading/writing. I have to get him to read the question and then translate what the question is asking, after I have done this he seems to get on with it then the same is done for the next and so on. I only noticed this when he started to bring home random pieces of written maths homework. If it isn't written it just takes a small amount (dependant on mood of the day) of encouragement to help him start off...because after all why should he have to do school work at home!?! .
This makes me wonder if that's why his written work has very recently started to improve after DH suggested a 'buddy' who can sit next to him in class? who doesn't struggle with the work and will answer any questions. Before this he was getting 10 mins 1-1 at the start of the lesson with his CT but once she had left him he just sat fiddling.
Personally I don't like the idea of another Dc having to do this for my Ds as I feel that it may hinder their own learning (if they have to keep stopping to help Ds). Is anyone else's Dc like this? Do you think I could use this towards my evidence for a statement? even though the buddy seems to be working?
