[quote=Anonymous]I just want to share our journey.
My child exited DC Public Schools after 3rd grade reading at an early 1st grade level.

It was really slow. 
4th grade did not see a lot of movement. A lot of the energy was spent on re-establishing a sense of self. 
5th grade started making some visible progress in reading. 
6th grade confidence with reading and doing it for fun.
7th grade continuing to read for fun.  All items on wish list are books (Yes D&D books count)
8th grade no longer in a reading instruction class.

In 3rd grade I had the same feelings - how will my child be able to order food from a menu or fill out a job application. Your child is very lucky to have a parent who is engaged in this process.  
A few things - I read to my child each night probably through 5th grade. This was to help with the building vocabulary. 
We used audio books a lot (note - audible and the library are much better than the free option through learning ally or speech to text versions)

I would see if there is another school that is a better fit that has space for your child this year.  If the current school is planning to cut ties - just do it earlier.  They should be willing to sever the contract.[/quote]
