Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hello everyone, My name is and I have a 6 year old son with apraxia - speech, fine and grossmotor affected. He has been evaluated twice at Mayo Clinic and receives therapy in the public school here in Rochester. My question is about reading. Jaeden is entering first grade this Fall and is reading at a second grade level. I was at the CASA conference and heard a mom mention how her child " regressed " (developed more difficulty?) when he was in first grade because of the reading approach - I believe it was specifically the phonics method that was detrimental because the child started speaking in " broken " sounds. I seem to remeber that Edythe Strand replied that kids with Apraxia should not be taught reading this way....is that correct? My confusion and concern is that in our schools, the phonics method is taught - what is the recommended approach for Jaeden? And what do we do about him being in the classroom and hearing this instruction? Thanks for any help - you can also email me privately at _kedmonds216@..._ (mailto:kedmonds216@...) .
