[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t listen to parents saying your kid just needs more practice. If your child is at Level B in the second half of 1st grade, there is a problem. You need to investigate to find out where the problem originates- is it a learning difficulty and/or an instruction problem. Do not wait. Start asking lots of questions, ask the reading specialist for an assessment, or get a private evaluation. A child’s confidence will be crushed if they get to 2nd grade and can’t read. You don’t want to have two years of catch up. [/quote]

Investigation will come eventually. OP needs a phonics-based intervention right now, because phonics is the solution whether the culprit is poor instruction or dyslexia. A tutor using an O-G method starts with an assessment of ability.

OP, contact ASDEC as soon as possible. Lab School also has O-G tutors for hire. Many public school reading specialists moonlight as tutors and they actually have the training to make a difference. Just make sure that whoever you hire has training in Orton-Gillingham or its spinoffs Wilson or Barton.     [/quote]
