[quote=Anonymous]I am a special education teacher. I agree that you should formally request, in writing, that your son be evaluated for possible learning disabilities. They will have to have a meeting where they discuss his current levels and this will alert them to the fact that he has had previous exposure to the material. They will likely recommend some extra teaching at school before testing him, which makes sense. If he makes progress with extra help, that’s great, and tell them you want some ideas of how to help at home without stressing him out. If he doesn’t make progress by spring break, request an evaluation again, in writing. It does sound like something is wrong. If he is flagged as a student with concerns, they will also place him with a strong, experienced teacher for first grade.

Look on YouTube for educational videos that are at his level that show beginning reading and math concepts. Search for primary phonics and primary math.

Read to him as much as possible, so that he picks up comprehension skills, like what happened first and last. [/quote]
