Thank you, thank you for the stories! We are actually also getting a full neuropsych eval - we weren't able to schedule her final day of testing until mid-June, and realized that would be too late to get into many summer reading programs, so have coordinated with the psychologist and Langsford to do this separate reading-specific eval with no overlap. I'll be very interested to get that in late June. (BTW - I think Langsford is somehow associated with Lindamood Bell.)
Langsford felt that dyslexia was NOT an issue, because none of her scores were "low enough." I think she is a very strong auditory learner also. (At least, on that test at langsford she was in the 99th percentile.)
We did have her vision checked last year, wondering if that could be a problem. They didn't find any issues, but I have read that for some things you need to go to a specialist to have the eval done.
Knute, I'm wondering what you did to "tighten up" phonics at home? Any book or workbook or system? I was just googling phonics programs, but many seem targeted to much younger kids.
I love the ideas and book suggestions and will absolutely check those out. And maybe a specialist in developmental vision issues?
I appreciate the input!!
Susan
