[quote=Anonymous]We repeated K so my kid is 8 this year in 2nd and will be 9 in the spring. He struggles with dyslexia and is not reading at grade level. I can't imagine the hell being in 3rd would be. The demands between 2nd and 3rd in most traditional schools are steep and the work load that much more greater. I would say get him tested (neuropsych eval) and see if he has a learning disability. I would definitely repeat 2 even if you have tutoring over the summer and/or tutoring during the school year. It would be worse to have everything fall apart and him put in the second grade b/c he couldn't cut it in 3rd. Also, he won't stand out that much being on the older side--at least half of my kid's class is his age. It's much more common now for families to delay kindergarten. [/quote]
