[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone told you this for a child that's behind in reading?  I posted about getting a full neuro-psych, but I'm also interested specifically about this question.  I've gotten this or variants from several people, including a child psychologist and a teacher trained in ABA therapy and focused on special needs children.

In addition to testing, read to your child at her cognitive level.  Get audio books - those are great in the car and at home.   Get them hooked on it in the car if they are reluctant.  then they will bring inside.  20-30 minutes in the car was long enough for most books for DC to get hooked.  We listened to many books as we drove to Oma and Opa's in NC or Aunts and Uncles in NJ and CT or wherever we went.   They are now in HS and one is about to leave in the fall and we still listen to audio book sin the car.  You don't have to buy them, the local libraries have enough.  If you are near enough to the Arlington Central library, they have an excellent selection. [/quote]
