[QUOTE="JLady, post: 223773, member: 6439"] Mstang... his issue isn't that he can't read. His issue is that he "thinks" he can't read so he doesn't even try. It takes a lot to get him going if he thinks the book is too complicated. Once he gets going, he is fine. The teachers and I feel it is more of an issue of confidence than lack of ability. He is in special reading classes at school now that help. Yesterday they were doing bench mark testing and he got hung up on one question that he didn't understand. The situation esculated to him hitting another student (which he feels was staring at his paper and seeing that he couldn't read it) and then he had to be removed from the class room. Once with the principal she was able to calm him down. She read him the question and he told her that it didn't make sense. In talking with her today she said that it really didn't make sense to her either. My difficult child was not able to let it go. He insisted on understanding before he could move on. It's his frustration. [/QUOTE]
