[SENco-forum] advice early literacy

You have not failed the child and through the correct teaching you have
given they have made progress.

What the child does not have, and you as a school cannot afford, is lots of
1:1 or small group work that would be available with a statement.

Magic programme - 'Statementing' that gives them the additional time &
resources that they need to learn.

How about ICT - like Clicker to drag & drop words rather than writing?

I have a year 4 child, P levels, relative visual strengths. general
cognitive ability 1%, arrived with 3 initial letter sounds, no sight
vocab, unable to copy handwriting patterns,
I have used multi sensory techniques, lots of over learning, blood
sweat etc and  now he:
knows all letter sounds
about 30 Reception sight vocab
can form some letters correctly
can spell a few words
likes to 'read' Jelly and Bean books
not much success with word building

Long story, but today I have been made to feel by county that I have
failed this child and that he should have achieved much more,
(Everyone who meets this child says not mainstream - EP, us, mld
outreach, even ofsted!)

So, what 'magic programme' would you advise, please?
thanks
Sue
