[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the additional feedback.  We don't have a school focused on teaching kids with Dyslexia, and while there are tutors....there are not that many that are readily accessible.  There is only one private school that I would ever consider for my children, and I'm not sure it would even provide a better educational outcome, honestly.

I have asked my child's tutor to see if they would be open to creating mini lesson plans (10-15 minutes) at home that are easy for me to do with my child.  I will pay them, of course, for their work.  I know it needs to be provided in small chunks, every day.

My child was motivated to do a lot of practice yesterday, and they worked SO hard!! They worked on reading this decodable UFLI passage (which they had previously read in school and partially read with their tutor as well).  This is the passage - https://ufli.education.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/44_Decodable_UFLIFoundations.pdf It took him about 10 minutes to read it and had to sound out everything.

I have some ideas if his tutor isn't able to do lesson plans, but we are going to keep chipping away at it.

Hi OP - reach out to his former private SLP and see if they are trained in Lindamood Bell or another reading program. Copays for speech would probably be less expensive than a reading tutor (and there might be some overlap with the original speech problem). Both of my kids worked on reading (one decoding, one comprehension) with a private SLP.[/quote]
