Thanks Grinity
Yes, you could be right re the auditory and I think I will go ahead with that testing process so we know. The special needs teacher thought that it was perhaps more 'attention' related although she did not rule out dyslexia as he is showing a spiky profile. He has not been checked for either ADHD or ADD - perhaps I should get to the bottom of it so I can help him as this must be so frustrating for him - he turned from relatively good behaved (although daydreamy) to a class clown/ distractor by the end of the year.
Thanks again for your help Grinity! By the way, his younger sister is attending another school next year which I am hoping should accomodate/suit her better! Tiz
