Are you OP? 3rd grade is when kids read to learn, instead of learn to read. There's a significant ramp-up in volume of content as a result. If you're sure your kid isn't dyslexic, and it's just an attention issue, then you need to medicate. I assume yours isn't?

OP, yes. We did a full eval last fall and confirmed no dyslexia. Reading and reading comprehension are particular strengths, and usually math as well, but this year they're missing directions or getting tripped up with following multiple-step problems. Usually, the answer is correct, but getting Cs and Ds for things like not showing work. Writing is biggest weakness and we go to outside tutor for support - this is also starting to impact math for word problems and explaining work.

A 504 is in place and meeting with the school at their next available appointment (not for a few more weeks, unfortunately) to reevaluate because either it's not working or they aren't implementing (things like more frequent check-ins, repeating of directions, etc.).

Medicated since last year, and the 2nd-grade teacher noticed a difference, so we thought we had the right dosage, but we may need to go back to ped.[/quote]
