[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has been recently diagnosed with dyslexia. Child is currently in second grade and was in pool for AAP earlier this year.

Child is slightly behind in reading and writing. The child had a perfect NNAT score, 143 combined for COGAT. Due to the dyslexia testing, we received her IQ score which is 136.

Child lacks confidence in reading, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to place her in a APP language arts.

I’m providing all these details to help understand that this child has intelectual abilities yet feels dumb because of the dyslexia impacting her reading/writing abilities.

If child gets into AAP, would it be possible to request for the school not have her attend language arts in the APP class?

I know child can do the math only portion. However, child loves and is good at science. I would love
 for them to be able to do something that interests them and helps with their confidence.

I am not sure if it matters, we are in zone to an AAP center.

I believe the answer is no. And I don't think it would make that much of a difference because all of AAP is supposed to be accelerated so there is supposed to be more reading and writing in science as well as LA.

You could defer AAP and have her participate in Advanced Math. Try LIII pull outs for some of the AAP extensions but we have friends who pulled their kid out of the LIII extensions because that meant their child was missing part of a class and had to make up that material. [/quote]
