[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. You need to move down to easier books. He needs to practice reading out loud with easier books to develop fluency, which is what you are describing here. Repeated reading of familiar text builds automatic decoding and fluency. You can ask to meet with your school reading specialist for tips and information on how he’s doing compared to his peers. That will also put him on your school’s radar. For spelling, as the reading teacher what approach they are using. He should be able to spell cvc (consonant vowel consonant) words by now. Then short vowel words with initial blends like TR or BL. Frequently used words like THE, WAS, HOUSE, PEOPLE need to be practiced. Make it fun like writing on a small whiteboard and you leave a letter out and see if he can write it in. Put magnetic letters on the fridge and see if he can rearrange them into the target word.[/quote]
