[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. His IEP had speech, math and reading/phonics goals before he attended kindergarten. I know it is rare that they list academic goals on kindergarten IEP but they believe that he may need it based on the observations from PEP programs for 2 years. He attended both private preschool and PEP programs at age 4/5.  Now they drop the math goals, but they have increased to pull him out for 1:1 intervention time for phonics/reading every week. His homeroom teacher is concerned about his reading level at last parent teacher conference. She mentioned once that some non English speaking kids with no preschool background have caught up and have made bigger progresses than my child on speech and reading. My son is not making much progress than the school has hoped for.

I hope that as some PP say that he will catch up and can read one day. That is my wish.  Thank you for all suggestions, and I will look into them. Thank you. [/quote]

What exactly are his phonics/reading goals? What curriculum is being used? What assessments show he is below grade level in reading?[/quote]

This is what I was going to ask- what is the concern based on?  Dibels assessments?  It sounds like the teacher is concerned so I would meet with her and the reading specialist to ask what the next steps are.  I know people are throwing around different at-home curiculla to try, but I would see first what reources exist within the current cucricullum rather than introducing something new (I personally used All About Reading but this was before MCPS was teaching phonics).  It may be that it's worth investing in a private tutor for a while.[/quote]
