[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM will tell you to get a tutor and then they will malign FCPS for failing your child.  I will tell you to trust the teacher.  My son did not read until the latter part of 2nd grade, but once he got it, he soared above everybody else.  It’s a developmental skill that some kids get early and some kids get late, and it sounds like your teacher is seeing progress.  In the meantime, you can try using something called “word ladders” to help (you can find worksheets online), and please keep reading to your child.  My late reader ultimately became a voracious reader, to the point that he got in trouble in class because he could not put his books down.  He read the Divine Comedy “for fun” and everything else under the sun.  Your DS will get there![/quote]

Lucky you, but chances are OP's child will not be fine. My child couldn't read at the end of first grade and has had intensive tutoring and in third grade is still reading only at the 2nd grade level (still getting tutoring) and still hates reading.

OP - hire a good tutor to work with him two days a week over the summer.[/quote]
