[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a reading specialist and Orton Gillingham certified. I also have a 3rd grade son who did virtual kindergarten. He is a terrible speller. It was a hill I wasn’t willing to climb at the time. I primarily work with dyslexic students a ELs so I can provide another perspective. I do think you should explore dyslexia intervention and testing if you even slightly think it is an issue. But it is actually common in the 3-5 grade range of students to see proficient readers who cannot spell. These students had virtual foundational literacy. Unless parents were diligent they missed the constant physical writing activity that is necessary to learn how to spell. I am currently working with a group of 5th graders that will absolutely pass their SOLs but can’t spell. We are working on morphology and writing. You say your child is a fluent reader. How about comprehension? [/quote]

Thanks for this perspective. I do think virtual learning impacted him here. His comprehension is also very high (above grade level based on his teachers).[/quote]
