[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have the same issue-- good decoding and decent fluency but a lot of trouble with summarizing and some general comprehension issues. We have been sending her to Huntington which works on both sequencing and other comprehension concepts like main idea, as well as increasing vocabulary. While unfortunately her dra score has not improved due to the retelling issue, her vocabulary has improved and her reading comprehension score on the CA version of SOLs, which Huntington uses to measure progress. We also read every night and practice the dra components-- retell, favorite part, connection, sometimes problem &  solution. I often use a 6 box chart to record her retelling in pictures and words to work on sequencing and retelling with detail. We also supplement with kindle apps that have short passages and comprehension questions. [/quote]

Not trying to offend, but truly, I wouldn't waste money on Sylvan, Huntington, Kumon, whether a kid has an LD or not.  They focus on rote memorization and not based on the same quality research as LMB, OG, or Phonographix.

OP, these are activities that make up quality reading programs:

You can buy LMB, OG, or Phonographix guides for home practice on Amazon.
