[quote=Anonymous]"It's developmental..." Can be true. You can have a first or second grader without the reading fluency that others in The class have, but who is a great thinker. With time and work, the gap will be bridged and the kid will be fine, or even excel, if s/he has the ability. An exceptionally bright child just may not be the top reader in the class at that age. In this case, the child is best served by doing LOTS of reading even if it's hard work, and being read to. Some parents are so pressed to have their kids be #1 all the time, they put excruciating pressure on the child, and a child who is fine --but needs a little more time at this moment in life-- feels like a failure when they are no such thing. This is when you might also hear: It's developmental. Not saying its NOT sometimes a code word for other problems, but sometimes, it IS developmental.[/quote]
