Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Good morning Maureen, my daughter had the same problem for quite some time. The school, a public one, gave her a reading program, (sorry I don't recall the name), she would wear headphones and play a tape of the same book that she was reading, she would read along with the book out loud along with the tape at the same time. She could also use this in the classroom as she followed along in a book the class was reading, she was also hearing through the headphones. This helped tremendously. Ask your school nurse/counselor/teacher about it. I will look back through her school records and try to find the name of the program. is now 19 and this was 10 years ago. I'm sure the programs are much more advanced now. Patty, Mom of 23 US Army Officer, 19 MDS college student Art major, 18 college student Math & Physics major -- " maureen ferris " wrote: Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to help Andy. He's now 9 and in 3rd grade and is loving it but he's having difficulty with reading comprehension. He reads well but is having trouble recalling details, finding the main idea, determining how the characters in the story are feeling, and making predictions. Any ideas, book or software suggestions? Please? Thanks, Maureen, mother to Tyler, 13 and , 9 (MDS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Thanks for your response, Patty. I just had 's conference with his teacher and Moderate Special Needs teacher. He will be able to preview stories on tape before the class starts the story. Also, I just ordered software from Merit Software which targets the areas in which Andy needs help. Thanks again for your suggestion - it's always easier, for me anyway, to walk into a meeting with some ideas!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 You are very welcome! On a bragging note: , who is 19-MDS and in college, is passing all her classes thus far! Next semester though she has math, her problem subject. Patty -- " maureen ferris " wrote: Thanks for your response, Patty.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 At some point the light goes off and a parent realizes that for our kids PS is most likely no more than over glorified daycare. Sad but true.Because of your child's disability, " they " think your child can't really learn, so they just pretend to teach, and unfortunately too many parents take what is written on the report card or IEP progress report as the gospel truth and look no further. Thank God you've realized what is going on, and now your on the right track to d something about it. We've been using Reading MIlestones and it is working great for us!

They have centers in Plano and Austin. http://www.brainbalancecenters.com/ > > Wow.....I just realized that I teach my daughter more in the 3 months of summer then public school teaches in 9 months!!! This pisses me off!!!! On another note....... I purchased the most awesome Reading Comprehension Kit for pre-school level today @ Lakeshore Learning and it really concerns me how my daughter just isn't getting it. Math is same way! I'm just so tired of not getting anywhere in these areas! > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
