Grinity,
Thanks as always for the insights. His teacher has a 'listening center' in her classroom where they read along with audio books. It is one of his favorites. Also, I read to him every day. His listening comprehension and spelling are way above grade level. His silent reading comprehension is where the problem may be, and may remediate with the vision issue.
The really wonderful thing is that in the last few months he has developed an ever-increasing love of books. The kdg books were boring him to tears, but he got a reading award last night for having read more than 75 books in class this year! Really surprised all of us!
I have finally found books he loves, such as Ready Freddy and Nate the Great. He helps me read the first paragraph and I finish it from there. We have a lot of fun reading together.
He also wants a brain he can rely on. He says sometimes his mind goes crazy, and it bothers him a lot.
DeeDee - His teacher will fill out the forms and she will do it without bias. She is that kind of teacher - the one we wish we had when we were little! We have an intake with a neuropsych on the 21st, and will go from there.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Leah
