[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has trouble with spelling and hates writing. Below grade level in writing.  Appears to be a whole word reader. Scored in the 14th percentile for Phonological Awareness, 16th for Elision (below average), 25th for Blending Words (says Average), 16th for Isolating Phonemes (below average).  There is one new goal related to improving this.

Child is 7, in second grade, and an O level reader. Loves reading.

Does this give anyone further ideas about what to ask for? Thanks.[/quote]

I would remediate this problem by yourself.   You cannot rely on the school to do it for you.  You should be able to  but they won't.

Go here:

Download the placement assessment (first link) and administer to your child.

Buy the recommended level workbook and teachers manual.  They are very cheap.   Work with your child for an hour each weekend to get through one workbook in 3 months.   (Or 2 hours each weekend to make faster progress.)   Use the sentences at the end of every unit to do sentence dictation at the end of every lesson.   If you see your child make a mistake on the sentence dictation, just sound the word out to her again, more slowly, so she can get it right.

95% of the students I tutor who are good readers, but poor spellers due to poor phonemic awareness, only need this approach for successful remediation.  Schools mostly won't do this, because what they mostly are geared for is reading.   If your child reads well but can't spell, they just don't seem that concerned about it.
