[quote=Anonymous]+1 to testing or keeping an eye on it.  If there is a learning issue, Kumon won't help.  Does your school have a specialist that can evaluate?  Have you asked the teacher what they see?

DD was in K last year, toward the end of the year we suspected some difficulty with letters and orientation.  Reading was a struggle and sounds similar to what you are saying, low confidence, difficult concentrating on it (when she can concentrate on other things just fine!) "this is too hard" and not wanting to read out loud.  Teacher said to consider testing within the year, but to keep an eye on it.

She started 1st grade a couple weeks ago and we are noticing HUGE differences.  She WANTS to read everything now.  She still struggles, but she keeps up trying without any pressure from us.  She constantly wants to read out loud.  I don't know what's changed, other than she had a few months break and is in a new class, new teacher, new kids.  It might just be seeing all her peers reading.

We are getting her tested as well.  Her father is dyslexic and it's become clear she has some type of scanning or dyslexia issue.   Check in with the teacher, or the learning specialist at the school. [/quote]
