[quote=Anonymous]OP I hope you can ignore the comments here. Good for you for caring about your child's education -- his WHOLE education, not just language arts and math. Social studies and science are hardly taught in most schools because very little value is placed on them, because they aren't tested or because the testing doesn't count. But learning about ancient and modern history, geography, government, and different branches of science is what builds deep content knowledge, which DOES become important in tests of reading comprehension at older grades. Without strong background knowledge children will not be able to retain what they are reading in the content area and in expository texts, and this is where many children, including smart kids with ADHD, are failing in reading. If your child is struggling in Social Studies and Science, despite being a strong reader now, this is worth looking into.[/quote]
