[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice in this thread! We got a lot of pushback from our school as well when we began to suspect dyslexia and DS reached the point of complete reading refusal. I was able to get him past reading refusal using All About Reading with lots of bribes and rewards and then we were lucky enough to find a really good tutor through Decoding Dyslexia VA. DS was at a beginning 2nd grade reading level after completing the first book of All About Reading and when he started tutoring after 3rd grade. He did 5 hrs/week for the next 14 months and ended up above grade level when we stopped tutoring. Now in MS he has decoding and comprehension well above grade level though his fluency still lags a little. I'm glad we got testing and a diagnosis but the single biggest thing was starting structured instruction. [/quote]
