I am writing in reference to my daughter, who is 7 years old and in the 1st grade. Her teacher said early on in the year that she is "not trying, lazy, not trying". I believe that is not true, I believe my daughter is struggling because of a learning disability. Problem is I don't have the money to have her tested outside of school and the teacher is not listening to my request to have her tested. My daughter is struggling with phonetics. Please help me she is already been embarrassed by her teacher because she is not reading chapter books with the rest of the class.
