[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amazes me how many parents know so little about the progression of reading and writing at this age.   I think too many parents have expectations of their child reading and spelling at the 99th percentile.

Your child is reading and writing.   Teachers can pick up learning issues like dyslexia pretty easy and would have requested an evaluation if there were concerns.

You’re doing everything right.  [b]His spelling and reading will get better with time just like every other student in his class.[/b]   [/quote]

I think that too many kids today are struggling in school because they are sitting back and taking this approach. If the OP has identified an issue, she should absolutely do what she can to help her child. Teaching should be done both at home and at school. Teachers have bad behaviors to deal with, too many kids in class, and the list goes on and on. I wish that they had the resources and time to do what they would like to, but it just isn't the state of our schools today. I think parents should be working on fundamentals at home and reinforcing what is learned in school. [/quote]
