[quote=Anonymous]Last PP, that is so encouraging. My 10 year old has a 'moderate' dyslexia diagnosis -- school said reading level R (one year behind) 89% accuracy, 65 wpm.

I don't think of kid as functionally illiterate, decoding continues to improve, but there's definitely still whiffs like seeing 'possession' and guessing 'poison'.

Talking to Lab, I was a little concerned their approach would be to push into audio books, and I want my kid to be able to read competently before exiting high school.

For those of you who have been able to secure frequent tutoring (I should be so lucky!), do you have thoughts on whether your tutors were able to help with more sophisticated reading problems than being unable to read 'guitar' or 'trivia'?

I'm talking about not recognizing that one form of a word is related to anoher form of a word -- like you know what 'possible' means, but don't have a clue what 'possiblity' means?

Also, just being competent at context clue problem solving. We are far from there yet.[/quote]
