[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you all so much!  I reached out to the school and got connected with a summer tutor, starting next week.  The Reading Specialist at the school is also going to meet with me to discuss tips and DS's specific struggles.  I'm going to ask her about what she sees with him, and will talk about doing an evaluation with DH.  I'm not averse to getting him tested and getting outside therapies/instruction, but it will be a real financial struggle for us, we may have to ask the grandparents for help.

Another issue is book selection.  All the books he wants to read (about Star Wars, Ninjago, Chima, etc) are way above his level.  When I get out "One Fish Two Fish" he protests that they are for babies.  I told him they are like training wheels, and the other books are like two wheelers.  He needs to practice with the "training wheel" books first.  That seemed to pacify him for a day, but I'd love more suggestions on "cool" books that are in his ability level!

Thanks again.[/quote]

So he reads "one fish' to you, and you read star wars to him.  That covers everything.

And best advice I got: don't ask him to read to you when he is tired.  Achieves nothing good.[/quote]
