[QUOTE="Malika, post: 541898, member: 11227"] Lol, of course another complication is that most of the books I read J are in English and I don't want to complicate things for him by teaching him English sounds to letters... The teacher says his French vocabulary needs work so probably I should be reading French books to him. If only I didn't dislike the sound of myself reading French :) I do like the way the teaching of reading and writing is taken slowly in France - in the UK, they now kind of "hothouse" kids from age 4, which I think is pointless and probably counter-productive. And, yes, the teacher has said just what you say, ktllc, that the target is to read by the end of CE1, not before. A staggering proportion of ADHD kids seem to have learning difficulties, however. And as usual, the teacher gives a really mixed message about J. In her little report she said first that he had had a very good year and made so much progress, also that there was no doubt he could do good work if he chose (oh god, all those school cliches coming out...) and then that it was this huge, continual challenge for J to concentrate and be disciplined!! She did write it in two different pens, though, so perhaps the second bit was written when she was particularly fed up with him :) I just can't imagine J reading, somehow. I don't know why I feel like this. Hard to put my finger on it but I sense something is amiss is some way. Hope I'm wrong! [/QUOTE]
