[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you need  a private tutor.  My school did 30 minute daily (though it was spotty) small group OG sessions.  Son made no progress till he got a tutor (twice a week) midyear in second grade.  It is really expensive.  He is still very behind but making progress. Schools just can't do this apparently.  I feel terrible for families who don't have 200 a week to spend on tutoring.  So unfair.  I still worry daily whether we'll ever get there, but goodness, we'd be no where without private tutoring.

oh, and his scores on standardized tests are fantastic because the computer READS the test to him.  So the school is all proud of itself saying things like "he's exceeded his growth targets" when my child still can't read at the first grade level?[/quote]

Ditto here - I don't know where we would be without the outside tutoring. We spend $300 per week for tutoring 3 times per week. DS also receives in-school interventions of ~30 minutes per day (4 days per week) pullout of 1:1 reading focused intervention. The teacher who delivers those services is trained in an OG-based program but she doesn't seem to be using it much, or with fidelity. I'm not sure how helpful it is.

In addition to DS's 3 times per week of tutoring, I also work with DS two times per week using the curriculum the tutor uses and trained by her to use it. For a long time, all of it didn't seem to make any difference. Now, he has leapt forward and we are really pleased with his where he is with his reading.

But it was a slog to get here. I anticipate more tutoring and more hard work when reading gets harder. [/quote]
