[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all of the helpful feedback.  The comments have confirmed that my suspicions are correct.  He turned 7 in February so is not young for the grade.  The school was very focused on social emotional learning this year and I would say didn’t focus on the issue.  We will pursue private testing and consider other school options including public depending on what the assessment shows.  I’m thinking if all of the other kids were able to learn it might not be the right school.  He is very aware that he is behind.[/quote]

My rising second grader is in a similar boat.  We will be doing testing but the wit list is long so that won't be until September.  I will be working with her on foundational phonics over the summer.  I suspect some lild dyslexia.

When I really observed what she can and cannot do, it is like she stopped being able to learn to read when COVID hit in Kindergarten.  So so we have worked so that she is doing much better with typical K level reading but now need to see what we can do for First Grade.  Unfortunately our school marched forward as if the kids had learned everything they were taught during COVID and once they were back in person the reading was way past her.  We will be moving to a new school in the fall which will be doing individualized instruction for Math and Reading.[/quote]
