[QUOTE="Malika, post: 575238, member: 11227"] J is in the equivalent of your first grade (because here classes are organised by year of birth; born in December 2006, he is the youngest in the class and if in the UK would be in the class below...) so he is learning to read. He knows all the letters now, can recognise simple sounds but not more complex ones (says the teacher). Teacher says when he has one to one attention he learns quickly and well and remembers what he has learnt. Teacher didn't seem moved by or interested in notion that maybe J could learn in a different way... he's a nice enough guy (teacher) but really seems to have written J off already, at the age of six!! Crazy. Seemed to feel J would always have difficulties... though he is so clearly bright and curious and (to me) asks very intelligent questions. Parents are always biased of course. Stab in the dark, yes, but the stabs in the light are really not working well, seems to me. [/QUOTE]
