[quote=Anonymous]My dd is a rising third grade, and she was identified as below grade level in reading in first grade.  We hired a tutor for her in first grade and continued tutoring in second.  The school also does pull outs with a reading specialist twice a week, and once a week, she got to read to a dog as part of her reading instruction (it was cute).

By the end of 2nd grade, she was no longer below grade level, but her DRA was the lowest for 2nd grade.  She is going to summer school (SELTS) through FCPS, and she is tutoring over the summer.  Especially when she was struggling, she would refuse to read with me ever.  However, she would read fine with the tutor, and the tutor even commented about how much dd loves to read!  As dd has gained skills, she has gained so much confidence as well.  Now she will read spontaneously to me sometimes, and I love that.

We did a neuropsych exam during December of 2nd grade, and she was diagnosed with ADHD-combined, but no learning disabilities.  The psychologist diagnosed that her poor focus was contributing to her struggle with reading.  [/quote]
