English is a second language for my DS. He started learning it in K, so I am blown away that his scores in reading are higher than in any math. I am a bit sad he didn't qualify for DSY, but now have a meeting with his private school to discuss his scores. What do I ask them?? How do you encourage reading? (Most of the discussion I've read here is usually about super advanced math). How do I advocate best for him? Should he be getting enrichment? For what? Any help appreciated! !
