Hi, Everyone....Ali...glad to hear from you. How is school going for your

son this year? I don't know any sites for videos (Gareth's too old for them)

but I am sure someone will chime in with info.

<<Kate has been reading at a 2nd grade level for about 3 years(she would be

considered an eight grader in regular subjects if she were mainstreamed) I

think she can improve her reading and writing level but is not getting the

proper instruction/support. They are not really providing the visuals she

needs.>>

Brigid....I remember Gareth learned to read very easily.....memorizing the

words, not by phonics. He would always have his spelling words for each week,

and Edmark words on top of them. In 3rd grade, he was doing third grade work

and comprehending the reading, math, science, etc. Unfortunately, he never

got past that level. I get so frustrated at times not knowing why.....he was

doing so well then stopped processing/learning. It's like he used up all the

allotted memory in his brain and there isn't any room left to put anything

else. He has continued to memorize new words, but doesn't have the

comprehension to go with understanding what he's reading. He's one of these

kids that

if you saw him out in public, reading the sports page out loud, you'd think

" Wow...he's smart " but the truth is he's just reading words.......very

little comprehension. Take care, Everyone.
