  • Caseworker from Michigan wondering how to help a student graduate

    I’m a caseworker in Michigan who works with a student that just started the 9th grade. She has been getting special education services and has been placed on a certificate track for high school graduation instead of a diploma. Her parent doesn’t agree with this, but the school expresses that because she is reading at a second grade level in the 9th grade she will not be able to get a diploma. What type of resources are out there in Michigan for a student like this who has a least four years to improve, and can this decision by the school be forced on the parent and student?

  • Teacher from Colorado wondering about morphology assessment

    I teach English Language Development to English language learners in Colorado. This year I began teaching morphology and I found your website and recommendations helpful. I plan to use the activities found on your morphological awareness page as an assessment to show student growth from now through the end of the school year. I realize it was not intended as an assessment so I'm wondering if you have an assessment recommendation or advice on where to find one that is broken into proficiency levels.

  • Mom concerned about cost of dyslexia testing

    Can you please direct me to a place in Michigan that diagnoses dyslexia free of charge? We have spent so much money getting my nine year old daughter tested. We have always suspected that she may be dyslexic, but it was dismissed by the psychologist we hired to do educational testing for our child. Finally, I took her to The Michigan Dyslexia Institute where they looked at all her tests and did their own evaluation. They determined that she has characteristics of dyslexia and they can help her but they cannot diagnose her.
