Just thought I'd post a happy update. Soon after my original post I contacted a friend of the family who has been teaching reading for 30 years. I wanted her to informally assess my dd to make sure there were no learning disabilities that I was missing. DD tested at a pre-primer reading level which is lower than grade 1 which was obviously not a surprise to me.
Â
DD has been seeing this friend for 4 months, 1-2 times/week for an hour for reading instruction. The instruction is coming to an end now as the teacher is going on an extended vacation. At her last assessment this past week DD tested at a beginning grade 2 reading level!
Â
Her progress has been astonishing. Like everyone has said, when it happens, it happens.
Â
I have no idea how much the direct instruction is to credit or whether she was just ready. But I thought I should post this so that anyone searching for threads about struggling readers would know what happened in this situation.
I'm having trouble posting so I'll try this right quick:
