[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About the same as last year but I am trying to understand what to do with them.

DS was in the 95th percentile for reading (yeah) but below expectations for Phonological Awareness. (boo) So what do I do about the Phonological Awareness issue? I will probably set up a conference with his Teacher. I am happy with his overall progress but this seems to be a major area that is apparently behind and I would like to know how to support his improvement in this area.

And then I figure I sound crazy because overall he is doing great. But I don't want him to not get the support he needs in an important area in LA. [/quote]

My friend told me her son once did this part of the test with the speaker turned way down so he couldn’t hear what was being said. [/quote]

I have LDs and have been worried about similar issues for DS so this feeds into my concerns. I prefer your explanation. I do think I will talk to his Teacher [/quote]

Most likey they will think you sound crazy, but pursue it anyway, which will probably mean on your own because the school won't care. Ask me how I know. But I also know your gut is extremely likely to be correct that some extra help is needed, particularly with the genetic component.

Educate yourself on science of reading and know that most teachers were not taught this stuff.[/quote]

*different terms
Phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, etc.[/quote]
