[quote=Anonymous]OP - the reality is that if your child falls 2 grade levels below, one might not be able to grasp grade level teaching in high school. Your child needs the literacy class.  View middle school as three years to bring up his reading, writing and math skills.
- See if you can get a clear breakdown of the reading and writing skills your son is behind on. Ask for suggestion of online sites which might enable you to work with him this summer.

- See if he could start out in a regular science class placement.  It would seem that you could always pull back to the smaller class if too much even with the accommodations he needs.  I would advocate for this.

- Also check now to be sure the academic goals and materials in the smaller classes are aiming at grade level goals though perhaps at slower pace to be able to take SOLs.

- Find out about MS clubs and sports that might be of interest and point out these are ways to meet new kids.

- Encourage his reading in areas of interest this summer with regular trips to the library and find the time to have him read aloud and talk about what he is reading.

- if you have the health care coverage, perhaps finding a therapist for him to sort out his feelings on having learning differences 
might help.

- School may be tough for him so try to help him to find one interest outside he might enjoy to keep up his overall view of himself.
