Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Sounds like maybe he should take all his tests verbally and homework!

I woundered how will he ever learn " all " these questions. I couldn't believe it. each and every question I ask him he answered without even thinking about the answer. He knew that whole " typed " full page of science questions. I can't wait to see how he will do on a written test tomorrow. because he will have to read it and write the answer down. which is his weak area. but, when I asked each question. He knew each answer. Does anyone else have a weak area and a strong area? with their child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Dear Dave, can that be done? I wrote the teacher a note stating that he answered all the questions " verbally " but reading them and writing them, can be a challenge. I wounder if they can do both? Great point, I will ask that at the next team meeting. Dave F <davemarineveteran@...> wrote: Sounds like maybe he should take all his tests verbally and homework!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Why not? It can be entered into his IEP, or a simple grading modification. There are modified diplomas as well, if required.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Thank you, I thought about that, I'm going to see how he does on this first science test, if he does not do well, I AM GOING TO REQUEST A VERBAL TEST. I know he knows all the answers. science is his favorate subject. now I know that is possible. (about a verbal test) if a verbal test works better, I will add it to his IEP. each day on this site I'm learning something new. thank you!!!! Dave F <davemarineveteran@...> wrote:Why not?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi My son's strengths are reading and spelling. When he gets his spelling words on Mondays he usually knows at least 11 of the 13 by the time he comes home on Monday. Reading he also excels. Where he lacks is predicting what's going to happen next,like in a story. It's interesting to because his spelling and reading comes so easily because he has an amazing memory and yet math isn't as easy for him. But isn't it nice when they have some strengths it makes it easier for them come time to do homework. For my son he doesn't consider reading or spelling homework.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hello Sharon, YES, it was great to see a (strong) strenght with my son in " science " we have a lot of studying to do with spelling. My son is the same with reading. If you read him a book and ask any question about what you just read, he will answer it, but, ask him what do you think will happen next. that would be hard for him. But, it was great hearing him answer all the science questions right. He even know some answers I didn't know. He loves science, and science to him is not homework. He enjoys it. thanks for writing, enjoy your day. sharon ogonoski <activeswimming@...> wrote: Hi My son's strengths are reading and spelling.

Great point, I will ask that at the next team meeting. While accommodations like this are possible and good for a lot of kids, do not overlook remediation as well. Learning how to put his thoughts down on paper or answer questions is important. He may always need an accommodation, but you won't know until they work on remediating the problem.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi Roxanna, yes, you have a strong point, thats why I'm waiting to first see how he did on the test. He does have the ability, its trying to get it out, " thats hard " . teaching him is also hard, but he wants to learn. Once he does get it, it was worth every minute of teaching him. just takes a very long time....

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi , How are you? It seems you are more curent here than on facebook. Could you please go to fb and read my comments under diagnosis? I responded to you. I will be meeting with the principal on June 4th to discuss my son's academics. you mentioned montessori school will best fit his needs. My question is, will the district be responsible for this and how do we push it? I had done a research on this school and there are quite a few in our district - my son will not have to out of the school district. I can send you a copy of the letter I sent to the Principal. I really need your advice as to how to equip myself for the meeting. Please read my comment on fb. Thanks and God bless Jola (That if you confess with your mouth, " Jesus is Lord, " and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved - Romans 10:9) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
