Reading advice I just posted for member of Facebook

[Guest guest]

The following is advice for the parent who called me from this group

who has a 9 year old who is not reading at all. The advice is from

CHERAB VP Cheryl SLP

" You need to develop a 504 plan with the your son's reading

specialist. If your son/the school doesn't have a reading specialist

you would develop the 504 plan with the principal and the classroom

teacher.

The 504 should address a multi-sensory approach to reading. The

following 3 are typically the most popular:

1. PAF Preventing Academic Failure

2. Orton-Gillingham

3. Reading System

The reading specialist should know the above programs and if not they

are easy enough to look up. The reading specialist should accommodate

the child a minimum of 3 times a week with a maximum on 5 times a week

individual sessions. The basis of the program should assure that the

child receives a thorough effective education. "

I am willing to share some of the tips I used to help my apraxic son

Tanner when he was learning to read as well and I'm sure there are

others here that will help as well. Just quick -One of the best pages
