[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry for what you are going through. My child is going into third and he is slightly behind grade level too. I try not to stress about it too much. I have him practice reading out loud at home to me each day. I also read more complex books out loud to him each day. Try to find stuff that he is in to for him to read. For my child, it's anything lego, superhero, and animals. I also reward him for doing anything extra and offer lots of encouragement and support. When he is struggling with a certain paragraph or sentence I read it out loud to him and then hand him back the book and tell him it's his turn to try reading it.

For rewards, he gets to pick a prize from my bag of stuff that I keep hidden. It's small things like from the dollar tree, but there are also little lego characters in there. He also has to do his reading before he can use his iPad, computer or tv. Good luck, I'm sure he will get caught up eventually. It sounds like you really care a lot about helping him and supporting him and that you see all kinds of good qualities in him, so I'm sure that helps a lot.
