I have even more information on the coming year -

Heavy focus on memorization of math facts for all operations this year - flash cards, timed test (teacher decides if it is written or oral). Also story problems with fractions, graphs, measurement, decimals, geometry and algebra.

Weekly computer skills, sign language and Spanish.

Several lessons in writing skills a month.

They'll be using Open Court Reading Series.

Homework will be practicing math facts, spelling words and memorizing poetry.

Science, history and geography might be combined with upper grade levels so that is cool. There will also be a first person narrative piece to the history as well.

They'll be using Raz Kids and spellingcity.com in class too.

Anyone have experiences to share about the reading curriculum or websites?

Any ideas on how to make math fact memorization less painful for young dyslexic?
