[quote=Anonymous]I'm getting increasingly scared about DC's long-term learning. He's entering third and is shockingly behind in reading and writing. We got a dyslexia and dysgraphia diagnosis this past year and started tutoring mid year. After six months of tutoring and an intensive summer program, he seems to be not much ahead of where he was before. I literally can't read most of what he writes, he mixes up letters and writes things backwards, and his reading is rough (albeit a bit better than his writing).

We moved to a new place and we're hoping to send him to public school, but now I'm worried they won't really be able to support his needs and that he'll increasingly be socially left out and criticized. He's a sweet kid who is well behaved, a great friend, and gets along with everyone. He's creative and smart in other ways. There's a dyslexia school we're considering, and I guess that may need to be what we do, but even so, I'm just not seeing the level of progress we had hoped for. It seems like he's getting farther and farther behind instead of catching up! We're doing tutoring the rest of the summer, but I'm not sure that will change much.

What worked for you? Is there something more we can do? I don't even know what to do at home that would help![/quote]
