This board is an amazing resource and very supportive.
I TOTALLY agree. The advice here is invaluable! The thing that I realized most over the year is that I have to try not to focus on what other people think my daughter can't do. I remember leaving first grade orientatiofirst almost in tears because it seemed like her teacher didn't believe me when I told her she could read as well as she can. By the end of the first month, my girl was the class "go-to" person if the teacher was in reading or math group with others and they couldn't read a word. I know now that no matter what anyone says, if I just sit back, she'll prove herself.
