[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a high school literacy teacher I just want to say that if she retakes a 389, it could go either way. It’s only a few questions, so passing is possible. If she doesn’t, and they put her into a literacy support elective, please don’t opt out of it. The SOL is *not* a hard test, so if kids can’t pass it, even with retakes, they legitimately could use reading intervention. [/quote]

I'm not a teacher but I am the mom of a child with dyslexia that wasn't diagnosed until 6th grade. My child has passed the reading SOL every year - so I agree with this PP. If your child didn't pass, you need to have her evaluated and get her help.[/quote]
Me again - my child had also been seeing the reading specialist all through ES and she STILL passed the SOL. OP, if you don't get your child evaluated, you are doing her a great disservice. Tutoring is not going to help in the same way that intensive remediation for a learning disability will. [/quote]

OP here. I did speak to her teacher about testing her today. She said I am welcomed to do the referral but that she has not seen enough evidence to indicate that there is any type of disability. I will still put in the referral and she is supportive but said for her part she repeated again that she does not have enough evidence to make her think that DD has a learning disability. [/quote]

You still haven't answered what her grades and Iready scores looked like throughout the year. Is this the first indication of something being wrong?

Also, the teacher has no training in identifying learning disabilities, don't listen to her.[/quote]

I could have some interesting how you all immediately think she might have a learning disability. No one asked did she rush? Has she been putting an effort this year?

There are a lot of reasons why kids don’t do well in school and a learning disability is one of many.[/quote]

I am the person you are quoting, and that is why I keep asking the question - what have her grades and iready scores been like so far? If they've all been fine, and there haven't been any previous indications of her daughter doing poorly in reading and math, then there probably isn't a problem. But OP for some strange reason is refusing to answer that question. [/quote]
