[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising second grader really cannot read (Bob books are a struggle). Our school has promoted him to second grade but I am starting to get concerned because he is way behind his peers who seem to all be reading chapter books (boys and girls). Would you press the school to keep him back a grade or consider holding back and sending to public? I can’t really blame virtual school because he was in person most of the year. I’m worried that school is going to become incredibly demoralizing next year and I’m not sure he will be able to catch up even with summer work. Should we give it another year at this private or act now?[/quote] You need to act now. The older kids get, the harder it will be to learn. Get in with a tutor or SLP who focuses on Orton Gillingham. Contact the school, express your concern, consider switching to school that has the resources to better support your child. Consider getting an evaluation. -Educational Psychologist[/quote]
