We are letting things develop, the school is always eager to help, but they express far less concern about his writing and spelling than we and slowly ever more so he does. His reading is doing fairly well as he just remembers the meaning and recognition of any word he is presented the first time.
Reading about the "Words Their Way" series has me sorely tempted to try and get the one that gets into roots and word combinations and such as I think his brain would latch onto decoding that way rather than traditional phonetically up.
I don't know what our line in the sand is, either, though my instinct is by the end of this school year something needs to improve.
