  1. My son is currently going on 8 soon. He still does not know his alphabet. He can not recognize the letters, he can't sing the song well, he doesn't know the proper order, nor can he write them at all. This is something we have worked with him on since he was 5. We backed off for a bit then slowly retried and each time ends up in with both of us in tears. So again we would ease off for a bit, thinking he was not ready. But now he is getting close to 8 and still it is a daily battle. For instance we purchased the Orton Gillingham book for ABC sequencing. We go over the a,b,c and what letter is missing between the a and the c. Then we move on to the d,e,f. We worked through that but the letter f he can not for the life of me get that letter. Though we just talked about it for the millionth time. Then if I show him the letter d from a card or the letter e he can't get it. Though it is the same height, font, color, etc.... We have tried everything too. All the pinterest ideas, we have watching all the learning alphabet shows like Leap Frog, etc... He is just can not remember what we just went over seconds ago. I even have him repeat exactly what I am saying numerous times. I have him trace the letter with his finger while saying that letter. Basically you name it I have tried it. I have even purchased all the expensive curriculums and that is not helping him. I don't know what else to do at this point. Currently I am trying to find him some help but unfortunately my area is limited on tutors that specialize in any learning disabilities on top of how unbelievably expensive it is. This is my only option I feel is getting him some help. Any other suggestions? What could it possibly be that is wrong with him? Why is this a battle? Why is it we can just go over a letter so many times and then turn the page and he forgot the letter just like that. Am I failing my child?
