[quote=Anonymous]Personally I'd follow the advice of the school. Holding a child back isnt something that is done unless there is a very significant need. I had asked to hold my son back in second and third grades. The school did not allow it. He never caught up - school was a struggle to the bitter end. It was hard to watch and it took a lot of work on my part to get him graduated. Also, as far as social experiences, my son had no friends until he hit 11th grade. Kids don't hang out with kids who have that kind of difficulty in school. So I'm not sure how much it matters to stay with the peer group. Last thought. PP is right about the transition from learning to read to reading to learn. However that stands for all subjects so if reading is difficult, it may not work to try to stay mainstreamed for social studies and science. [/quote]
