[QUOTE="Malika, post: 541880, member: 11227"] Thanks for all your input. Just to reiterate: J has been tested by a specialist eye doctor and there is nothing wrong with his eyes. To answer your question, ktllc, J has shown NO interest in knowing what the letters are or in trying to read. If he had, I probably would have helped him at home. He's a very physical, probably visual child... he is bright and has a phenomenal memory for some things - but not for this. He seems quite slow about some things, I don't mean that judgementally, obviously. For example, he was really slow in learning colours, days of the week, numbers, etc. Though actual mathematical exercises, when there is a visual support, he is good at. I don't want him to repeat the year. Firstly because it would mean him being with the Dragon Lady teacher some more and that's not a good idea and also because we should "save up" the possibility of repeating a year in case he does need it later. Just to be clear: I am not in any way worried that a child can't read at 5 or 6, I don't need to push or hurry the process; I just want to know whether there is something going on with J that means he will have real problems at any age.
