[quote=Anonymous]You need someone who can assess his needs--is it a fluency or comprehension issue? Choosing a specific program without knowing your child's needs will not be beneficial. If it's a fluency issue, look for someone who will provide texts on your son's independent and instructional levels and who has knowledge of and experience with teaching decoding strategies. If it's a comprehension issue, you'll want someone who can teach your child how to identify information in the text that is literal, how to make inferences, how to identify the most important parts of the story/text, and how to make connections. Check with your child's school. They usually have a list of teachers willing to tutor. I would choose an experienced teacher over a tutoring chain. [/quote]
