[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still waiting to hear which APS schools have OG trained reading specialists.....

Ashlawn has had OG trained reading specialists for at least the last 6 years. Students who are at-risk (not only students with IEPs) have been given OG, Wilson, or a combo of those as an intervention routinely on a pull-out basis.  I know this is not the case at all schools but OG has definitely been offered in APS depending on the school.  My own child received this intervention for 2 years.[/quote]

Just in last couple of years my dyslexic child received reading recovery -  killed his reading self confidence because he wanted to learn how to
Read and it taught him to guess.  Teacher during virtual school was full on balanced literacy.  Didn’t realize  at time but the pull-outs with “OG trained staff” were still heavy on things like running records,  leveled books and other things I’m hearing in this podcast.  And we had to take our concerns to school -  they never brought them to us despite a couple of years of struggles in reading. And then wanted to cut his hours last spring even though he was still behind grade level.

APS might be getting better but we still had to pull our son for private. Now he’s reading and confident again.[/quote]
