[quote=Anonymous]I would pull him and supplement at home with afternoon activities, tutors or teach him myself. He's still young and at this age I think the most important thing you can do for him is to help him learn he's "good" at school. Being in a large class and seeing all these kids who excel at his weakness is probably very hard on him. You can always put him back in a magnet/accelerated program in middle school or high school when he's more confident in his abilities. Our own DS in 2nd with HFA is working several years above grade level but our school does a lot of writing which is his weakness and he has come to think he's a terrible student. I've been told there is some research that children's impressions about their ability to do well in school is formed at a very young age but don't have any specific citations for you.[/quote]
