hello all,
My dd7 is in 1st grade at a gifted school. Finally a great fit for us after 3 years of moving around!
That said we just had parent teacher conferences and her teachers see a big disconnect between her abilities and what is happening reading and writing. They even asked me if she ever had phonics instruction? It is always a struggle. She loves books but doesn't want to read aloud. Cannot blend or find her place and hates the easy readers. She is always looking for a more complex story. Her spelling is also off, no vowels and sometimes she places letters in the word where the sounds don't belong.
She does have visual tracking issues and was doing therapy for this but we haven't seen much improvement other than she does seem to have an easier time finding her place and doesn't fatigue as much. So I am wondering if this is a learning style issue.
Does anyone have any tips for a VSL kiddo with reading and spelling?
Thanks!
