Reading and writing

My Son is in Year 1 at a mainstream primary school in the UK. He recognises is letters but isn’t yet blending them together to read a word, he can mark make and has attempted one or two letters but he can’t yet write or draw. Do any parents have experience of their Children having these difficulties and how did they overcome them?

  • Where there is one neurodivergence, there is sometimes another...could he also be dyslexic?  I am both.  Reading was agony for me at primary, which made me so sad as I so desperately wanted to access all the lovely books.
