[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 233827, member: 1233"] We actually had Wiz go through the summer reading program at our uni, mainly because we had a friend who's grandson NEEDED it and wouldn't go alone. The friend is a reading specialist and described learning to read as a brick wall. Sometimes the wall is still standing but missing bricks here and there. With Wiz being majorly hyperlexic, the reading program wasn't sure why he was there. I knew, with that mother's instinct, that his reading skills were not all they were showing to be. I knew there were deficits, but it was very hard to get anyone to see them. This reading program taught him the skills to fill in the gaps in his "brick wall" and it has made a MAJOR difference in how successful he is in school. Just be aware that the major tutoring place that starts with an S is NOT all it is cracked up to be. they came into my dad's school two years before he retired. Yes, they boosted test scores and helped some kids. But ANY kid with a real problem was not admitted, only those with small problems. I lost a lot of respect for them when I realized that they refused services (even though contracted by the school district) to students with disabilities like dyslexia or major exec functioning problems. They only wanted kids they could quickly show results with. it kinda disgusted me, actually. Anyway, I hope you find a good option. If nothing else, call the Education Dept of the local university. They will have students who will tutor. [/QUOTE]
