[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat OP.  My rising 2nd grader was in virtual all but the last two weeks of this year (and then, only 2 days per week in person).  He cannot read.  He does know many high frequency sight words, but he's just not at the level of reading.

That being said, his teacher was great, it was just that virtual learning is not great for someone so young as he is, and who has a mom that has to work full time and can't afford to hire a tutor or pay someone to help him navigate the remote learning - so it's hard to telework at a high stress job and try to navigate his remote school at the same time.  I need to keep my job to support us.

I am seriously thinking of having him repeat 1st grade next year - I am agonizing over this and what would be best for him.  We thought about redshirting him to start K late, but ended up not doing it.  His birthday is 2 days before the cut-off, so he is the youngest kid in his class.

He also did have speech therapy for years before and during K (through a private company, as PG Co. said that he was not delayed enough to qualify for free speech therapy).[/quote]
