[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to hold her back, you need to get her intensive OG-based tutoring.[/quote]

This. And there will be someone trained in OG at her school. FCPS is doing a massive training this summer. At least one literacy teacher from every school is getting trained AND a sped teacher.

Do not retain. [/quote]
What training are they doing? [/quote]

They are doing OG training, but it doesnt seem intensive/enough…we shall see. It is a step in the right direction! I find it hard to believe that one person trained per school will meet the needs of all the kids in a building who need OG.[/quote]
If you can, spend the money for tutoring by a OG trained reading tutor, three times a week in your home.  This will not go on forever.  It took us four months to get up to grade level, so you are a looking at a one time cost of 3 x $~60 x 16 weeks = ~$3,000.

Unlikely the school will provide the required intensity to get your child's reading up to grade level.  And do not wait.  Our tutor, an experienced public school teacher, said if you do not fix this before second grade your child may never catch up.  [/quote]
