[quote=Anonymous]I agree, have him evaluated as the others suggest. If there is something wrong, the earlier the better. This thread caught my eye because by the end of PK4 my son could recognize maybe 2 or 3 letters (very young 4 - made the cutoff by 11 days). No other signs of delays. He had done private PK 2 and 3. We read constantly at home and practiced letters every day. Teachers and Dr. didn't see anything wrong, so we just waited. By the end of K he knew all the sounds, but still did not recognize many letters. You could ask "what sound does n make" and he could tell you, but could not recognize the letter. By the end of 1st he knew the letters, but by that point he was fairly behind and needed repeat 1st grade. It was the right choice because of how young he was, etc. By the end of 2nd he was an amazing reader. He is in 4th now and scores in 99%ile for decoding. I can't keep a book out of his hands. He just needed time.[/quote]
