The general standard of reading and spelling among English speaking children is not high, so as a parent you should try to ensure that your child has above average reading and spelling skills. If you are in any doubt at all, have a diagnostic assessment done so any weaknesses can be isolated and corrected quickly.
Most reading and spelling problems result from a failure to master some key learning or language
skills during the early years of education. Don't wait for these problems to fix themselves.
Remember that at school your child is just one in a large group. Furthermore, the teacher
may not have the specialist knowledge required to deal with such problems. Specialist individual tuition is the quickest and easiest way to ensure that your child becomes a proficient reader and speller.
Monitor your child's reading and spelling skills closely right through school because:
ensuring that your child acquires good language skills
is the most valuable gift you could ever give.
