[quote=Anonymous]He doesn’t see a reading specialist or sped teacher at school? Are most of the kids in second grade at his school reading at a k level too? If most of the kids are on level then I feel like they spend some extra time working with your child. If most children at this school are two levels below grade level then I’d imagine they just make sure the classroom teacher teaches to the level the majority of students are at.

You can try to push for an IEP if you don’t think the curriculum in the general education classroom is helping your child read on level. My school had the gen ed teachers use Lucy Calkins Unit of Study for ELA, but the special ed teachers use Wilson and Orton-Gillingham (which I think every kids should get but that’s just not what the admin what’s gen ed teachers to use).

With an IEP you wouldn’t be spending your money on an O-G tutor or anything like that. They could age out of the IEP too, so it doesn’t have to be forever. But that extra time with a teacher either 1:1 or in a small group might be exactly what your child needs! I’m sorry education isn’t so crazy![/quote]
