[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've all been there but you have every reason to be hopeful.  First of all you are getting her evaluated early.  Most parents don't identify and address reading issues until the end of 2nd grade.  She'll be able to get the specific support she needs and in a few years you won't even know she lagged.[/quote]

+1.  Is your assessment by the county school system or outside/private?  I would really lean toward the latter.  IME, the county systems often don't have a very good grip on dyslexia.  This is particularly true for MCPS and DCPS, not as sure for VA schools.

If she is in first grade now, you have the chance to do intensive reading over the summer and through second grade, etc.  Choose a clear phonics-based system like Wilson, Phonographix, Orton-Gillingham, etc.  and your child will have a very good chance at this young age catching up in reading.  You are lucky you are catching this young. [/quote]

Private. Even with no diagnosis, her school has been using phonographix since kindergarten.

The printable books suggestion from another pp was great -- she'll love helping to pick them out. Is there any particular website you recommend?[/quote]
