[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 506616, member: 11791"] Bunny... Let's see - he's 7, right? (or does your sig need an update? we often forget that!) Which would put him in about grade 2. Just my experience, but... Red flags now = bigger and more red flags next year or the year after. The kids have until the end of grade 3 to master basic skills - reading, writing, arithmetic. After that, they are expected to USE those skills to do "real" work, and the load gets heavy, fast. If he's into the last half of grade 2 and still struggling with reading... then either he has a Learning Disability (LD), OR there are other issues that show up as a reading issue - working memory, for example. The fact that he "failed" the standardized test should give you a good reason to push for a full set of evaluations. (I'm not in the US... others will have to help you with what to ask for). Catch whatever can be caught, as soon as possible. This "reading" problem might just be the tip of an iceberg that you don't see yet. The cost to NOT dealing with this early? is... other problems get added... anxiety, depression, behaviour issues. And once those come into the picture, it becomes a much harder battle to get to the bottom of the real issues. While easy child is still a easy child... please consider going digging. [/QUOTE]
