[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher. This is true. Reversals/reading difficulty are the NORM before 2nd grade for MANY children....Also, "behind" in reading is not a term that I typically use because there is a HUGE window for learning how to read.  Yes, there "may" be a problem...but do not worry now if professionals are telling you not to.[/quote]

This is what we heard and listened to and my child was robbed of two years of reading programs specifically geared toward people with dyslexia.  He will never be a fluent reader, despite intensive reading tutoring from mid- 2nd grade through 7th grade.  Could he have been if the program had started in kindergarten when he was first flagged (but teachers but they did not inform us of this until mid 2nd grade), we will never know.  This is why trust is an issue between parents and "professional" teachers.    Well, that and saying he was a DRA 16 at the end of 1st grade when he was actually a 4- never heard the real story on that. [/quote]
