Almost Self-Reliant
Since kindergarten the teachers at my son's school have been hinting at dyslexia. This last time I met with my son's new teachers(3rd grade) and they said they believed it was dyslexia and that maybe I shouldn't push him so hard is how I took it. He is extremely intellegent, but basically can't read very well above a first grade level and that is slow at times. He can read above that but it is very difficult for him. He gets frustrated easily. I get frustrated becuase I know he can do better. His teachers have been reluctant though to definately say yes your son has dyslexia, without professional testing i guess. Looking on the internet I have found that he has several things that point to it. I am wondering now what should I do? The school has been working with him and his teachers are very understanding and compassionate, but something is going to have to change. he can't go through life barely reading.
