[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your kid could benefit from a full evaluation if you can swing it? I know dyslexia is a spectrum, but I have to say that in K my dyslexic kid was not able to read Bob books or any other books, couldn't retain most sight words, and couldn't sound out and blend a word, even three letter words with help. He is mildly dyslexic (after 3 years of remediation and OG is above grade level reader). What I will share from that time is that he was miserable, angry, and confused. Not being good at school was a real blow to his sense of self. I imagine your little dude must also feel badly about school due to the behavioral challenges - that can be hard in self esteem, too. 1st grade really is early enough to start reading remediation, if you need to (1st is still considered very early for diagnosis, though of course it can be diagnosed in K) and understanding any attention issues first might facilitate the tutoring later. Good luck! [/quote]
