Alycia's Progress In School

Met up with Alycia's class teacher today. On the overall, Alycia has improved, especially in her social interaction skills. When she first joined the class, she was very reserved and quiet and hardly spoke a word. Though she's still on the quiet side and seldom participates in group activities, she has nevertheless learnt to mingle around with her classmates and asked her teachers questions too.

Academically, she is still lagging behind her peers as she has only attended class less than 3 months this year. Most of her peers started preschool at age 2 and Alycia is the youngest in the class being a December child. We pulled her out from school in February when she kept falling sick. She only resumed school in early September and did not consistently go to school as she also fell ill within these 2.5 months. She still cannot write the letters of the alphabet and numbers on her own without the help of dotted lines and she still can't read a book independently. Nevertheless, she can recognize almost all the letters of the alphabet (capital and small letters) and numbers from 1 through 10. She really needs some catching up.
