When we got DS's results (he was 6.5 at the time) we had a chat about everyone having different strengths and challenges. He was really good at X but Y was a challenge for him. Other kids were good at Y and struggled with X. We said that some things at school were going to change to help him and talked about a couple of the obvious ones.

TBH DS was visibly relieved. He had made the assumption that he was 'stupid' because everything wasn't easy. He knew exactly what his challenges were and was extremely sensitive about them as well.

Good luck!
