[quote=Anonymous]6:56 PP -  I agree w 7:18 that freaking out is extreme.  In most schools, the curriculum is geared for an 'average' kid at that age.   It is one size fits all.  if you are struggling, you need to consider that your kid is not at the average level.  This may be ok as kids learn at different rates and eventually most converge to the average.  I would absolutely not freak out.  I would just consider it as information tied to a broader picture related to an LD.

I mentioned my two kids, one with ADHD.  This child would have received 0 correct without study.  It was important for to this kid to get most of the words right like the other kids, so we studied way harder than suggested.  Also, I have no doubt that our child would have missed all the words a week of two later.   Gradually, by repetition, DCs reading improved and I now think it was worth the effort.   Reading is very key to learning in later grades.  These sites words are key to establishing reading fluency.[/quote]
