Yesterday, Teacher M asked to speak to us about our 4-year-old Ate. She told hubby na medyo maingay daw sa klase. And nahihirapan pa sa pagsulat ng pangalan n’ya. Nababaliktad (jumbled) yung mga letra. And she still stammers occasionally when she gets too excited (we almost do not see this at home anymore... a big improvement).

So we will try to be more diligent abut her practicing her writing. I noticed a couple months ago that she gets her letters mixed up; I was getting worried about dyslexia but friends say she’s too young to be expected to write her name consistently. (Kuya was an exception; his language skills lagged behind but his writing skills were far advanced).

After a few weeks of practice, if she still shows no improvement, we might have to do some serious intervention such as writing tutorial (care of a SPED or an OT... maybe at the center in Makati where she and her Kuya used to go for their speech therapy). If it still doesn’t work… and I hope we wouldn’t reach that point, we might have to get a professional help/evaluation.
