Big Push
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 3:41 pm
Starting to feel it's coming together at last.
Beenfocusing on method and technique practice with IPS and the Tutor's CD as well as short IPS tests. Now moved on to the Tutor's papers and my son reached 96% on his first try. We'll do the partner paper this week and get an average but I felt very encouraged. We'll continue with these for the next few weeks as well as the CD practice( He enjoys this) and vocab games, and then move on to Bright Sparks-I've taken 1/2 term off work to do a bit of intensive with him (and have some fun as well!) and practice the Nfer papers in the last couple of weeks.
Everything we've gone over seems to have suddenly stuck in his head!
Also more relaxed having seen some of the local all ability schools which seemed decent
If he carries on like this I'll be pleased. He really is doing his best as he want's to pass and I can ask no more-I proud of how hard he's tried-whatever the result. If he doesn't pass after this he probably wasn't Grammar school material anyway, but he's picked it up so quickly I have a feeling.....Parents evening just before 1/2 term will give us a clue I think
