You can always pull her out of a foreign language later if needed. My DS, a junior, cannot handle a foreign language but is doing very well in American Sign Language. Everyone is different.[/quote]

My fourth grader has dyslexia and is in a two-way immersion program in MCPS.  We love the school overall, but having less exposure to English isn’t helpful for a kid with dyslexia.  That said, if your kid is reading on grade level and hasn’t had any reading-specific interventions yet, that suggests very mild dyslexia.  Hit it hard with tutoring and see where it gets her.

FWIW, we’ve had good success using the Phono-Graphix method (specifically with Beth Cianguilli at Stepping Stones in Bethesda), which has a good evidence base and is very straightforward.  My DC still isn’t on grade level, but has made significant progress over the past year.[/quote]
