[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 570139, member: 3493"] Malika - I have 5 kids and each one is different. Oldest boy was hyperlexic and read at 3. He's mildly Aspie and was/is ADD; medications helped him to a point. He is 22 and delivers pizzas after dropping out of college. His IQ is 135. daughter was in a gifted kindergarten but did not read fluently until she was in 3rd grade. She just up and decided one day that the books the higher level group read were more interesting and she approached her teacher, who gave her a plan and within 2 weeks she was in the second highest group. The first highest consisted of her best friend, who is simply brilliant. Third child is difficult child. He refused to read until the summer between 2d and 3rd grades when I told him he could go to the movies alone with his older brother to see "Holes" if he read the book and told me about it. The next book he read after that was "Harry Potter." He refused one on one and would hide under the desk when the reading teacher came to get him. Number 4 is easy child and he is classic dyslexic (as is H, but H is till this day in denial about his own ADHD). easy child's school used the Orton-Gillingham and Wilson methods to teach him to read. His reading comprehension scores are in the 99th percentile on the tests on which he has extra time; he struggles with reading speed. He is currently a junior in HS and I have him attending a police science/criminal justice program half days with the other half at the regular HS. Baby boy is 13 and in grade 8. He was diagnosed with mild dyslexia last year. He had visual issues and really didn't become a fluent reader until 4th grade. He is now my second most voracious reader (daughter is first). None of my kids has ever taken medications except for oldest boy and difficult child, who took Ritalin in grade 1 before everyone agreed that there was nothing implusive about him - he is determined. That's when his diagnosis was changed to ODD. J just turned six. Reading is not a skill that always comes easily. All of my kids have IQ's over 130 and only one read by 6. I would be very pleased by the fact that his reasoning skills are advanced. If France has an equivalent of O-G or Wilson, find a school or tutor who will use it. It's intended for dyslexic kids but it can help other kids as well. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
