Does anyone elses kids struggle at school?

Answered 4 years ago

2 boys in Prep and 1. I feel like they just aren't interested in 'learning' all of the sight words, reading etc. They just struggle and after a a year, and two years in school for the eldest, feel like they know not very much and niggly dilemmas and clashes with some peers. It's all getting me down.

Neither of my kids are academic and they have always struggled at school. Sight words and reading was a big Struggle in prep and kindy. I didn’t think they would ever get it. I was extremely worried. But they did.

They are in year 2 and year 4 now and can read without any concern. Just keep on plugging away without too much push, and a lot of positive encouragement. They will get it. If they are making progress then they are going in the right direction. In year 2 my son was reading at kindy level (2 years behind), now he’s in year 4 and he has caught up.

Yes my daughter has dyslexia and it’s a battle to get her to learn.

Is there possible underlining issues?
Also remeber not all kids are built for the system .

Yeah learning difficulties with the eldest but no diagnosis, he was born very early. Could be in Year 2 but we held him back but I'm sure he is only at Prep level.
