[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What can be done? I have a second grader who is at the lowest bar of the graph. Very below goal or something like that. Can can hardly write, and his reading has improved a lot this year forming nothing to something. The teacher is trying to catch him up, and he’s not alone. He missed the most important part of K and all of first. [/quote]

What are you doing at home? Over summer? My APS is the same grade and with a late summer birthday, one of the youngest in his class. He could barely read a few sight words when school shut down in March 2020. I used “how to teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons” and BOB books to teach him at home. He muddled through virtual first with a teacher who didn’t make him finish anything. We had to be involved, checking SeeSaw every day and helping him on our own for 20-30 min every night. 
If a year of in-person school hasn’t helped, you need to line up a tutor for summer or research ways to help him yourself. Unfortunately APS alone will not fix this for you. [/quote]

Too many parents don’t want to bother with this. It’s too much work that’s cutting into their Netflix binge time. It’s far easier to scream fruitlessly at the schools.[/quote]

Unfortunately, this is true.[/quote]
