[quote=Anonymous]Send an email to his Teacher, the Counselor, and Principal requesting he be evaluated for learning disabilities. They have a specific amount of time, I think it might be 60 days but I could be wrong, to arrange a meeting with you to discuss the issue and arrange for the testing. They might discourage the testing at the meeting but I believe that if you request the testing that they are obliged to provide it.

There really is a wide range of time when kids learn to read. There are plenty of kids that are very slow to pick up reading and writing and suddenly in second grade they are on grade level. There are plenty of kids who that does not happen for and they fall far behind. Schools are in a hard place because the range is so wide. They don’t have the money or SPED Teachers to provide services to every child who is not picking up reading in K or First especially since they know most will pick it up in Second.

DS didn’t stop reversing letters until Fourth grade. Every year it improved, fewer letters reversed and less frequent, but it was hard for me to believe the Teachers that he wasn’t dyslexic. He is in Sixth and reading and writing just fine. But I know of kids in his class who continue to struggle that didn’t receive services before Third grade.

I would recommend an email formally requesting he be evaluated for learning issues and see where that takes you.[/quote]
