[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP of this thread, surprised to see it pop up. My child was last assessed in January, I think, at a DRA 16 and is reading Level J books in his reading group. His reading group is also working once a week with the reading specialist at our ES. He has been working with an OG-trained tutor once a week since the fall, really focusing on phonemic awareness, sight words, etc...

So. He's made a ton of progress, but is still almost a full year behind.

I stopped reaching out to his teacher because I got the same reaction every time (he's doing great!) Is it worth reaching out to the reading specialist to get her feedback since she's been working with his reading group? Should I ask for an assessment now that they are back in person? [/quote]

OP, I commented originally. Stop asking the teacher if he's doing okay. Write a letter to the principal and ask for an evaluation. Put it in writing. He's a full year behind. Yes, he's caught up a bit, but he sees the reading specialist and a private tutor once a week for the past eight months. He's still a year behind.[/quote]
