That’s really what I needed to hear. Thank you so much. Im in Cairo so not too much around. I’ll have to go to London or US to do this. Home is DC, so I’m sure we can find what we need there.

I love AAR. We didn't always love the stories, so we made up our own endings (and towards the end of the year, we started writing them down.) We have some slower readers though and this is the only thing that finally worked!

We have been homeschooling for a year and while making great progress, I do think it is harder than it should be. My oldest is 2nd grade (age 8). We are still struggling with reading. While I was happy to say "late bloomer" to this point, I wonder about getting a psycho educational evaluation. How does one go about doing that? (We are currently overseas, but I imagine I would travel to the US to do anything of that sort.) And what exactly would a diagnosis get me? Sorry for the beginner questions, I would love help/suggestions etc.
