[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 551371, member: 11847"] If you have time, try to make learning the alphabet multisensory. What does the trick for V is to use sign language: it gives extra visual and it allows him to feel the letters. His teacher is also using this method at school with all of her kids. So that is a good thing even with regualr learning kids. Also, keep in mind that reading is not supposed to be mastered until the end of CE1. J has almost 2 years before he should read on his own and that should help since he has a late birthday. As long as he is happy to do his work (bravo for praising him and keeping it light), maybe try to not over analyze quite yet. Sure you want results and progress, but right now is a huge ajustment period for him and sometimes it takes a while to click. on the other hand, you do want to shelter his self esteem. Now might be a good time to point out all the things he CAN do (ride a bike like a champ which is rare at his age, skate, speak 3 languages, etc...). Hang in there! You are a great Mom and even if there is some bad learning difficulties, I don't believe the school system will do anything about it quite yet. School just started. What you want to make sure is to keep examples of his work, copies of notes between teacher and you. It might come handy in the future. If you don't have one yet, invest in a copy machine or scanner! Have you educated yourself about special education in France? What the law requires and how it is implemented (usually 2 very different things unfortunately...). Just to be ready and help guide the future conversation you'll have with the teacher. [/QUOTE]
