[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First stop would be your child's teachers, the resource teachers and possibly the school psychologist (Does he want to be there? Is he struggling socially, as well? Stress outside of school?).

It sounds like he will need some basic tutoring with a writing and English teacher. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations. Hopefully the school does. Good luck.[/quote]

Agree with this.  I’m surprised that a kid in AAP is this far behind in ELA, but there’s no use crying over spilled milk.   Most of what you mentioned  is fixable in a short period of time with a little effort.  Phonics and grammar lessons will get him spelling and using basic punctuation.  The writing will take more effort but can be done in a way that can incorporate basic research skills into the process.  The school resource  teacher can likely help with note taking and studying for test.

Invest in a english/writing.  If you want to invest the time yourself there are plenty of workbooks and programs that can help you.  The WellTrainedMind forum has lots of reviews on curriculum you can utilize at.  Some key ones that might be helpful for you:
