My 5 yr old son will not grasp words!
I have been reading to him since birth
I have been (trying to) teaching him since 2
but he seems to just have this block,
after a painful hour, he will memorize most of a page, but then forget them again
It is driving us mad! we have tried what seems like everything, we don’t get angry, stay calm & reassuring (i must admit have tried telling him off & bribe's too! but it seems like he doesn’t want to learn,
he is in his first year at school, & they are not concerned but bearing in mind they think it is ok for the children to only be able to count to ten, i don’t hold out much hope, the school is trying to teach with phonics, but it just doesn’t work, there are words you just can’t sound out, he is so bright at everything else,2 years ahead in maths, but can’t read, he was writing his name at 2, so don’t get me wrong he is not slow, i have mentioned dyslexia to the school cause I’m dyslexics but they say it's too soon to tell & he's normal ??
