The teacher said that Shawn will have to repeat Grade 1 if he is not able to read or do word building by the end of the year. This was told to us when he received his first report.
We then enrolled him at Edublox and the improvement was amazing. Within 6 weeks he was pronouncing words I never thought possible in such a short time. His concentration has also improved. He improved from a 3 (moderate achievement) in Afrikaans to a 6 (meritorious achievement), and from a 4 (adequate achievement) in Life Orientation to a 6 (meritorious achievement).
