[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point, my 7 yo learns all sorts of things by reading. In the past year she has dramatically expanded her knowledge and vocabulart by reading fiction and non-fiction. [b]I'm sure a kid who can't read could do the same if there was someone who was willing to read aloud to the kid for hours per day, but in reality I don't think that's ever going to happen.[/b] A kid who reads regularly will be miles ahead of a non-reading peer by age 10.[/quote] I think part of the reason this comes out of a tiny corner of the homeschool community is that a lot of homeschool curriculum do stress hours of read-alouds or include lots of audiobook time. There's some more flexibility in homschooling to make up for these kind of deficits. To me it sounds like a lot more work than finding outside help, but according to a friend currently searching desperately for a reading disabilities tutor that kind of help is surprisingly hard to find.[/quote]
