[quote=Anonymous]For this issue, I would schedule an appointment with the Assistant Principal in charge of testing for your school. If your child is reading on grade level then this could be a test taking issue and not a reading issue. I would want to rule that out before doing tutoring all year. My DS has been barely passing the reading SOL for years and I kept asking the school to figure out what the issue was and they didn’t. He failed this past year (by one question). His teacher spent about 40 minutes with him going over the types of questions he was getting wrong and gave him some practice questions. His score went up by 50 points on his retake. We give the kids all these tests but we don’t give them enough explicit instruction on being good test takers. It is a different skill than the content and some kids have it naturally while others do not. [/quote]
