[quote=Anonymous]OP,  I also have an ADHD kid who struggled to read in k and beyond. I regret listening to the school - which resulted in us pulling him for private in 4th. Had I invested in tutoring much earlier, it would have been better.

On the point you made that you are doing reading practice with him afterschool and he is tired and hard to motivate….I would consider pulling him early or arriving late to school and just signing him out for “therapy” appointment. Make sure it is not at a time when he would receive school-provided reading or math instruction. I wish I had done this.  In retrospect nothing is more important than being able to read. Reading instruction provided by the school is typically very ineffective for dyslexics & my school system knew nothing about teaching ADHD kids to read - IME they have difficulties that are different from dyslexia.

I would also invest as much as you can in having someone else qualified teach him.  IME it is not effective to have the parent teach the kid so intensively - there is too much interference in the parent-child relationship. [/quote]
