[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  15:23 - thanks for the understanding (she really FEELS like Aunt Hectora) and the suggestions.  We've had DS working with a private reading tutor for over a year, he's been in reading pull out at school since the middle of Kindergarten (it's now second grade) and this year he got put in a special morning reading group that meets every day for an hour before school starts with the SpEd teacher (the group is half kids with IEP's, half without but with reading troubles) so we're working on the extra reading help.  We've tried everything from "book buddies" with the local highschool basketball players who act as mentors, to reading for prizes, to playing silly mnemonic games with letters and words.  Somehow it doesn't work, there's just a disconnect.  One day he seems ok with sight words, the next day, he can't tell "that" from "they" from "the" from "this".

It's like he looks at the first letter and then stops trying because he's frustrated that he doesn't just "know".  Then he cries, says he's stupid (his word), bangs his head on the table or pulls on his hair, and refuses to continue.  All over the difference between was/where/went.

Given all the reading help he's gotten and is still getting, it seems like there's something other than "just not reading" going on.

Beyond getting some other neuro tests done (on my agenda), I don't know what to ask the school to do or to help with.[/quote]
