[quote=Anonymous]My son was slow with letters and was in a Montessori charter for K. He did learn all his sounds throughout the year and made appropriate progress toward reading. I loved the Montessori environment for him - he doesn't transition super well so the long work periods were ideal. I thought he was thriving. His progress reports were average/passing in every area. We switched to a different elementary close to our home for 1st grade that was not Montessori and it was VERY difficult because he was used to referring to the letters by the sound, not the letter name, and even through he was on track with reading he couldn't answer "what letter is this?" in the way they wanted the first try. They would ask him to spell CAT and he would say "cuh-aa-tuh" instead of C-A-T. That answer was right for Montessori but wrong for the regular school. He ended up repeating first grade and is on track now but the transition from Montessori made things more difficult for us.[/quote]
