At the moment he only gets a Reader (level 20) & a list of spelling words. The Math that came home was to partly to finish off & partly to show us how behind he is. When his teacher told me that I requested that we start a communication diary as what Evan tells me is often very different to what has been said. For instance he also had his social studies book come home which needed some work finished off. He was so upset & concerned of getting into trouble because this morning he hadn't completed all the colouring in he had to do. He was telling me it had to be done, all the kids had to do it etc. So when I mentioned to his teacher it wasn't finished because we spent an hour and half doing the math etc. I said that I told him it was more important to do the the other work & its just colouring in. She laughed it off & said yep, Its just colouring in so he can finish it at home IF he likes. Not MUST.

She did say he is with a group of kids she is spending more time with to bring up to speed. So thats good to know that she is giving him the extra help.
DH printed out some NAPLAN stuff & sat with him again this evening helping to understand the important parts of the question. He did really well with that.

I am hoping that this is stuff he knows but its just be taught different or wrong for him to understand & that he will catch up quickly.
