Intro & Educational Style:
My eldest is Edouard 9 and youngest Henri is 7. They are both boys and both
dyslexic, so go to an orthophoniste twice a week. Plus the eldest has
private tutor once a week for an hour.
They have both been at school since age 3 so are bilingual verbally, however
the eldest is severely dyslexic and is reading the same level as his brother
which causes its own issues. It is him I am concerned for as his confidence
is being damaged daily. He is very social and has many friends but some are
starting to tease him. He is very sporty and is part of an athletics club
and skis very well for his age. His ambition is to ride in the tour de
France. So he spends a lot of time outdoors and riding with his dad and
brother.
I am thinking that I will start home schooling from September ie removing
him from take his finial year at primary in school and seeing him through to
14 when he can hopefully go to lycee BAC PRO in something hands on. He has
lots of help from his current teacher. We have purchased him a laptop which
has DYS programmes on it. It is not talented in any academic work at all. As
my boys are very competitive and they are quite different children with
different needs at present I intend to leave the youngest at school. He is a
maths genius so gets good praise from this at school. He also struggles with
lecture but not nearly as much as his brother.
I wish to follow a UK curriculum for around 2/3 hours a day and then just enjoy
practical activities cooking, gardening, woodworking, life skills together.
I would increase his private tutor hours to help with the French. His father
is a self employed general builder and will take him to work some days to
practice practical maths and problem solving at work. His father is dyslexic
too and so is my sister and father, so we understand that the system just
does not work for this type of brain. Edouard is typically logical and a
very socially intelligent good natured boy (the girls love him) so practical
projects like to design and build bird house would entertain him. I just
want him to enjoy skills rather worry about learning parrot fashion
timetables!
