[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  DC is back in public school.  Has an IEP but gets no further reading instruction since 2 years at private SN school raised all reading assessments to 50%ile or above. IEP instruction is for dysgraphia and ADD, but TBH, DC is not really getting any instruction in those areas.....

For PP whose child used electronic textbooks with text-to-speech, is the voice natural enough to be understood?  The last time we tried electronic readers, the DC didn't like the computerized voice.  DC does like listening to audiobooks synced to text on Learning Ally, which can work for English class, but not sure about textbooks.  Even listening to a book is still a slower process than effective reading..

To other PP, what is the difference between "reading fluency" and "processing speed"?  Are you saying that RAVE-O only helps the kind of fluency that enables students to have a natural voice? comprehension? or speed?   Also, RAVE-O looks like it has a lot of different programs.  Is there something that is good for this skill and this age group (MS).
