Thought I'd better give you all an update. Matthew's support reteurned after Christmas after an uncomfortable time with the school. He was given double support to make up for the lost hours - this cannot really make up for time lost but we have to be grateful for anything these days. He's much happier again. We had a parents evening in April where the teacher was very pleased with him said he was a bright child who came out with a suprising amount of facts verbally, he showed us a excellent piece of work that we know he's capable of, done with very little support (science), he's been holding his own in the class tests. The teacher allows him to answer questions in english if he's struggling for the welsh words which takes alot of pressure away.
His tutor is very pleased that he has improved vastly since she first taught him back in September, ordering his stories and spelling. He actually loves to read Tintin books and is asking me to buy him new ones all the time. He also enjoys history along with maths!

I'm glad to see that Matthew is progressing well.
It is odd that he likes the Tintin books. When I was struggling to read, I to got hooked on them as well. There must be something about the vibrancy of the artwork and simplicity of the language that just appeals.
Did you know there were some Tintin books translated into welsh? The originals are very rare but I did find this: http://www.wbti.org.uk/11535.html
I should also point you at my Tintin site:

All the best
