[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising 4th grader wants to do math enrichment over the summer break. Specifically asked for Mathnasium since a good friend is enrolled but I’m skeptical bc its worksheet based. 
Any recommendations (in-person near Alexandria or virtual) for a dyslexic child that mental math comes naturally to (99th percentile on independent schools SOL-type exam, DC had adult reader accommodation). [/quote]
What's their reading level? 
Maybe look at these: https://www.rainbowresource.com/category/7660/Visible-Thinking-in-Mathematics.html

How do they do on written word problems? Can they read well enough to understand a textbook or instructions for a problem?[/quote]

No, DC’s un-aided word recognition/ reading accuracy is not proficient enough for a grade level textbook or even written word problems to be worth the time/effort.  Perhaps we can try those text-to-voice pens though.

Thanks so much for the links; I will look into them![/quote]
