[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Ok, I am thankful that poor spellers can grow up and be successful contributing members in society, but I do still want to know if there's something I should be looking into now, when she is 7, for early intervention?

This is the PP. My son receives pull-out assistance at school to work on spelling rules, vowel sounds, and writing fluency. School just started, so I'm not sure what he will get this year, but he got that daily in 2nd and 3rd. His 2nd grade teacher approached us with the concern and was great about getting the tutoring started. He has not had any testing, and we don't really think it is necessary at this point. His first grade teacher noticed the problem, but she sucked so we were never told. It still makes me mad that he could have had intervention a whole year earlier if she had bothered to mention it to us. [/quote]

Thank you so much, PP.  Yeah, none of my DD's teachers have mentioned anything up to this point, either, but she just started 2nd and I've begun to think maybe I should bring it up and be proactive about this and see if I can get her some help along these lines too.  Thank you so much for commenting.[/quote]

You're welcome! Good luck![/quote]
