[QUOTE="Malika, post: 541819, member: 11227"] Well, it isn't that he isn't able to do them at all but that he is slower than the others at doing them... and then the teacher says (quite rightly, I am sure), that in her experience, children have very different rhythms at learning how to read and write. She says that the real deadline for this is actually the end of the second year, when the child is 7 or 8. She is right but... a child of J's intelligence "should" be recognising all the letters by now. But he is slow to learn them, very slow really. I am going to be swimming in the dark again, to create a nice mix of metaphors. Don't know where to begin with dys things and there's no-one on hand at the moment to point the way. by the way, J has had really thorough eye tests and there's nothing wrong. PS - I suppose what I am "after" is to have a sense of how normal this is at this stage and whether I should be taking it seriously and start pushing to get evaluations for learning difficulties.
