[quote=Anonymous]Has he been evaluated for a reading disorder? That should be your first step. A reading disorder needs specific kinds of tutoring; if he doesn't have a reading disorder, but is falling behind for some other reason, you want to know so that you can deal with that other reason. Whoever evaluates him (see above) can recommend a type of tutor. For example, the person who diagnosed my child recommended using a SLP, who has targeted his reading deficiencies very well. But, generally, you should expect that a tutor builds a rapport with your child so that your child has a good time (ours started out playing board games, with reading happening between each turn. She phased that out, but it meant that my child grew to really like the tutor); that the tutor communicate with you regularly, briefly at the end of each session and in more detail out of hearing of your child periodically. The tutor should periodically communicate with your child's reading teacher at school.[/quote]
