[quote=Anonymous]Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think you need fancy tutors. Our DS very easily could have been diagnosed with dyslexia in 1-4th grade; he was right on the edge. He was diagnosed with dysgraphia and dyslexia in 5th, but we always knew he struggled with reading. He definitely understands words and reads differently than we do. However, we just kept reading with him, he worked with our school literacy specialist, tried a tutor for a few months that he hated, etc, and then he finally found books he loved. Dog man and wimpy kids. We were adamant that he wouldn’t learn to hate reading, and that has made all the difference. He likes to read. Sometimes he still struggles with new words, so he is still working on it, but he likes to read, and that came from us reading with him, working through it, and still reading with him now. He went from below average to the 80th percentile on his MAP reading tests now. [/quote]
