[quote=Anonymous]DD has significant difficulty reading and we have long suspected she is at least mildly dyslexic. In the past her teachers have all worked to bring her up to grade level with her classmates, and she has managed to float at or near grade level. We work with her every night and try to employ word decoding strategies and other techniques, and she really is making progress, but probably not enough to make her ready for the read-to-learn shift that comes with third grade. As a parent I'm nervous that the read-to-learn setting is going to set her up for failure. Socially, being left behind this year would be a nightmare. I would be interested in hearing from other parents who have faced this and what strategies they used to power through (or, I guess, when the reality check set in that powering through wasn't realistic).[/quote]
