[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recommend a tutor with a reading background. Programs don't teach kids to read, skilled and trained reading teachers teach kids to read. [/quote]

Yes, a quality tutor helps but not all programs are created equal.  Kumon for example is largely based on rote memory as is Huntington, Sylvan, etc.  That's why O-G, Phonographix, and LMB would be preferable. [/quote]

Agreed about factory tutoring services like Huntington, etc. beging a waste of money... But the other ones you mentioned are still programs trying to sell a product. Research shows best intervention in analytical. You need some one tell you the defiits with your kids and then create a program specifically targeted to your child. Not some one sized fits all BS. I think people recommend those programs because they have spent so much money with them (I think a summer with LMB is $12,000?!?!) they want to feel like they are the best and truly exceptional. The best is a highly skilled tutor. Research proven.

I'd ask teachers at your kid's school. Ask about their reading background.[/quote]
