Hi everyone, I am new to the group and I want to introduce myself my name is teneal and I have an son in 2 grade that have trouble reading. I have bought just...
Hi Teneal, First of all I would suggest you find out WHY he isn't reading, whether the school are concerned about it or not, whether his vision or hearing are...

Teneal, In what state do you live? We might know of a place to take your son for an evaluation. The other way you can find a competent evaluator is to contact...
Teneal: Testing is great if you can afford it but my question is then what. Some places have long waiting lists and schools can take months. While waiting I...
The school can provide testing and it must be done in 60 days at no cost to the parents. There are plenty of free tests on the internet but they will no ...
... well, 60 days is 2 full months. Can get a lot done in that amount of time. Why waste more time? Teneal, if you son places in set 1, you will find that the...

I agree. They 60 days is the date schools have to assess the child. Many parents do not have access to the proper interventions, tutors or the money to do...
The point the folks have missed is the school has to test the child then request an outside evaluation at the school's expense if you don't agree with there...

And one more point I need to remember myself regarding when we consult with parents...we cannot assume the parent is equipped to teach the alphabetic code. A...
Hi Teneal As you clearly do not a have problem with literacy yourself, don't worry about not being able to teach your son. By all means make sure he doesn't...
Why give a parent false hope. If they could they would have taught the child. If phonics was the answer why are there so many children that have had this type...
