[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So then how die they screen for those early elementary kids that have dyslexia or another reading disability? Seems like a big waste of resources if the plan for several years is just to ignore low test scores.[/quote] I’m sure they still have ways to screen and are tracking and know what is typical and what is not. I just meant that as a parent I didn’t pay close attention to the scores early on. [/quote] DP, who has two kids, including one with dyslexia, in a TWI program: they don't do any special screening for learning disabilities. Most kids are identified in second or possibly first grade and they go from there. I know families who have moved their kid with dyslexia to non-TWI schools and families who have stayed with TWI. Most kids don't have dyslexia. I do think it's on parents to be particularly vigilant if you have a kid in a TWI program, especially if they're at increased risk for dyslexia.[/quote]
