[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was deemed a poor reader in 1st grade. What I did was I read to her every Sunday for HOURS.

By middle school she was the fastest reader in the class. She won her schools English Award 1st of 60. In HS, she scored a 760 on verbal SAT.

Fast forward 15 years and she’s applying to law school.

TL;DR-

Kids grow at different rates. Read read read as much as you can with your kid. It will probably work out.[/quote]

Unless she is dyslexic!!  Read the OP.

If the kid is dyslexic, she will need private tutoring to learn to read.   The sooner you start the cheaper it will be.  [/quote]

+2.  I remember a coworker telling me I just needed to read to my dyslexic child more!  Lol[/quote]
+3  As mom of one kid with dyslexia and two without, the differences in their underlying ability to learn to read could not be more stark.

OP, my understanding of that requirement is that it would not apply to students with documented learning disability.  Keep working with him, of course, but I wouldn't be concerned about retention at this point.[/quote]
