[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the thoughtful responses. Decoding and fluency are fine. It's just the comprehension, recalling the details of the story, retelling the story etc. Would the LMB verbalizing and visualizing method work better for this profile? Phonographix seems heavily focussed on decoding. OG seems less so but more decoding than comprehension. Thoughts?

I don't like the approach of the tutoring centers and so many tutors that I've talked to seem to just have done a tutoring course with no other real background in special education. So I want to do the teaching myself. [/quote]

You're talking to the wrong tutors.  I'd look at the Lab School Tutoring or Strixrud.

PP's probably right, you'll need to identify the source of why DC is experiencing this.  Comprehension can be a word processing issue can be a memory issue related to dyslexia or an executive functioning issue related to ADHD or both.  In either case, your kid can learn strategies from a good tutor.  I think if you try to address this yourself and aren't sure how to approach it, it will end in frustration for you and your kid.  A good tutor will also give you strategies to implement at home.
