[quote=Anonymous]Hi all.  I am hoping some of you may be able to share experiences and knowledge regarding reading/language disorders in language immersion schools?  The research I've done online seems inconclusive.

My 2nd grade DS is about to undergo testing for what may be dyslexia (or some other reading disorder and possibly dysgraphia).  He's been in a language immersion charter school since PK for a language we don't speak at home.  He is a struggling reader (well below benchmark) in both languages, but does well communicating verbally in his foreign language and in English.  Writing is torturous for him in both languages.  He is at grade level in math and science (for now…I know these subjects will get more connected to his ability to read soon…).  The school's special ed team seem fabulous, so I'm hoping we'll be able to continue at this school.  (We REALLY can't afford private, so that's not an option even if we wanted to, which we don't).  Any tips or advice on how to navigate this?

Thanks![/quote]
