Following this thread...my son (9) has dyslexia and has been progressing nicely with All About Reading. We went through volume 1, and are halfway through 2; purchased All About Spelling 1 and he knew every single word. I gave him a survey test yesterday in Spelling Power and he scored a grade above. 😳 His reading is still sometimes choppy but we're happy with his progress. It's math that is his nemesis. I've tried many programs (Math U See, Teaching Textbooks, Rod and Staff) and we're currently giving Saxon another shot. Although he didn't show it at all during our evaluation, I believe he's got some ADHD that really surfaces with math. But then again..maybe he doesn't...maybe it's just his frustration with math alone. He was quiet during the evaluation, not frustrated.
After speaking to HSLDA, we chose not to do any further testing within the school. I'm thinking I'd like to return to the development center for a followup to see how he's progressed. Lots of great info on this post...thanks so much and blessings to you, Vicki, and your son.
