[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider cross posting on the special needs forum.  It is entirely possible that it is just developmental.  My kids are now in HS and college, and I recall noticing when they were in kindergarten and first grade that most of the kids in the highest reading groups had fall birthdays, and the kids we knew with summer birthdays were among the slowest to pick up on reading.  On the advice of our pre-school, we had held our late summer birthday son back because he couldn't read anything, and then, almost like magic, around the time he turned 5 and a half, he started being able to read letters and then words.  Overgeneralization, but boys just start reading and maturing later.

With that said, nobody here can assure you that it's simply developmental.  If your gut tells you there's an issue, I'd post on the SN forum and see if folks over there have advice or providers to recommend or simply things to look for.  [/quote]

My young for the grade was an early reader but later talker.  [/quote]
Mine was huge talker and the main reason it seemed fine to send him on time.   Huge mistake since had un-discovered ADHD.   Despite being towards bottom of class for reading was on level.  This meant school would not entertain holding him back.  Otherwise we certainly would have. [/quote]

Holding back will not fix things.  You get him tutoring and work with him at home and get the adhd treated. Your situation is not op[/quote]
It definitely would have helped.   Was just trying to point out that kids are different.  Calm down [/quote]
