[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my child is 2 years behind grade level in reading, is it reasonable to expect more than a year's growth with intervention? If not, he will always be behind. School says we can only expect a year's progress in one school year. At this rate, he will never pass grade level SOLs in reading and writing. Any thoughts or advice? He doesn't qualify for summer school. [/quote] Many children make more than one year's progress over the course of a year with intervention, but it's not reasonable to expect them to learn at a faster rate than normal. What is reasonable is to expect that they not fall further behind. You may find that as the gaps in his learning fill in that he will surprise you because although he's being instructed on content 2 years below, he's being exposed to grade-level materials and some of that will absorb as his skills develop.[/quote]
