[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first grader can't read on her own. She may recognizes a few words here and there, and it is so painful. [/quote] Have you worked with her and gotten books that fit her interests? If she is still lagging despite putting in the time/effort, you really might want to have her checked for dyslexia. I have two friends whose kids were diagnosed in 1st/2nd grade, after they just were struggling a lot. It was enormously helpful to get the diagnosis so they could adjust the methods of instruction. I think undiagnosed dyslexia is one of the biggest reasons that kids turn off school and decide "I must just be dumb." I had a friend in college who had a History degree from a Ivy and became a professional writer, so don't feel like it's a judgment of intelligence or ability -- it's just a different way of reading that needs to be taught in a different way. Good luck! [/quote]
