Yes, we are hotly debating the sweet spot for tutoring. FWIW, DD7 popped out of the 4 hour assessment today glowing, declaring her love for the time spent. When we said we'd be pulling her out of summer camp and putting her in (cringe) reading 4 hours a day 5 days a week she said... GREAT! So she definitely enjoyed the one-on-one tutoring attention.
She's only reading at a 1st grade level, but we see a potential leap to 3rd grade right away, with intensive tutoring. She seems poised for a burst ahead. This is her M.O. We'll know more on Monday (we hope) when Lindamood-Bell gives us their recommendations. We anticipate a 3-4 week intensive, then once or twice a week after that.
We've started feeling like we've got Helen Keller on our hands, given DD's limitations with reading and writing. Can't wait to get her keyboarding, too!
