[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I don't know how you feel about TV, but there are two TV shows that are great for teaching letter and number recognition and your child might just need a different teaching methodology to get it. For math, Team Umizoomi is fabulous from Nick Jr. You can get the first two seasons free on Amazon Instant Video. For letter recognition and early literacy skills, Super Why! from PBS is fantastic. I forget where my children go to watch it on demand, but there is a PBS Kids app in Roku, so they may go there. We also have Netflix and Amazon, so it might be one of them, too.

OP, the way I'm reading your post is that both you and the school are drilling the numbers and letters into your child without making the process of learning an interactive, fun game. Both of these shows are interactive, with the audience being asked questions throughout, catchy theme songs both children and parents will sing, and really great colors to keep kids engaged.

I honestly wouldn't worry too much about recognizing all the letters and numbers prior to kindergarten if your child has all the other skills you list. I agree with the previous poster that you can contact Child Find and set up an evaluation through MCPS to see if he would qualify for an IEP. There's absolutely no reason to drive all over place, take loads of time off of work, spend lots of money, and sit on wait lists for 6+ months for appointments over this.[/quote]
