    I'm guessing she's done kinder? Did her kinder teachers raise any concerns about it? She's only been at school for 7 weeks, so I wouldn't be too worried just yet - I would give her more time. But I would also speak to her teacher about it and ask how can you support her at home with learning. Helping them at home with learning sight words and writing etc makes the world of difference. I would take an alert, but not alarmed approach kwim?

    she did day care kinder, as all our local kinders were full. They are overseen by a qualified kindy teacher there though and no concerns were raised.

    We do go over her sight words every night and she will remember a word and then two days later has forgotten it again.

    I am very glad that she has the extra time next year at the same level and hoping one day it will just click (im pretty sure thats what happened with the older two, one day they just got it)
