[quote=Anonymous]Our DS is in intensive language arts instruction after school ... reading, writing, and spelling using structured literacy. It costs almost half of a private school tuition (so between that and daycare, oy!) I agree with PP that the biggest difference has been explaining to DS that it's just how his brain is wired. It's not bad, just different, and means he needs to learn reading in a different way. Then with the tutoring he's able to see results. He's gone from "I can't read" to having a personal goal of reading on grade level. The downside is he follows a full school day with an hour of tutoring. It's really stressful for him. We have some downtime in the car to/from where he can choose to play Pokemon Go, listen to an audiobook, or talk and he really loves his tutor, but it's still really hard on all of us. [/quote]
