[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, her spelling is bad. She was spelling "of" as "uv" and anything with the "tion" she would write as "shun", like "direkshun" instead of "direction", all of this up until about 1 month ago. She can read that words fne but I was seeing it on the school worksheets she brought home, we have since fixed those errors. We are working on a spelling word list too. For instance, just tonight she wrote "halp" for "help", I had to say " hAlp, is that the vowel sound you hear? What makes an eh sound?" Then she immediately erased it and fixed it to an "e".

I'm the mom with an OG tutor and your child sounds a lot like mine. All of this has improved a lot with tutoring help (or should I say halp, which btw, is a very, very common mistake according to our tutor).

Regarding the DRA - ask the teacher. They should have done an assessment at the very beginning of the year. My child has had two of them already, but I wouldn't have known if I wasn't in touch with the teacher semi-regularly about this. At this point, your child should be in the 20s somewhere, but sounds like she is probably in the teens. [/quote]
