[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks so much for all these great posts!  I really appreciate it, as it gives some perspective as well as some concrete other things to try.

One of the PP's mentioned watching Discovery Channel and that made me think about some other useful ways of engaging his attention, reasoning, and comprehension.  We all watch Planet Earth as a family (own all the DVDs) and we have just started watching the Planet Earth 2 series on TV.  He also loves watching Mythbusters with my DH, and that has also been great about making predictions or a hypothesis and then seeing what turns out.  So maybe we should do some more of that! :)

Thanks for all the recs about tutoring places and methodologies that work.  I will be looking into them all.  Was considering – after reading some on DCUM – about trying Learning Essentials to see if we could get paired with someone who matches him need-wise and personality-wise.

Funny that one PP mentioned continuing speech therapy – he just completed his last year of school ST this year (he doesn't qualify anymore).  But we are looking at doing some speech work targeting comprehension and inferencing over the summer.  So thanks for pointing that out – the connection with speech and reading is definitely there.[/quote]
