  • Seventh Grader is Having Difficulty Transferring Spelling Skills to Everyday Writing

    I am a fifth and sixth grade reading specialist. I have worked with a student using the Wilson program completing ten of twelve books. This student came into fifth grade a non-reader and left after sixth grade reading quite well. He has just completed seventh grade, and when I inquired about how he was doing his resource teacher had said she started the program over because he was having difficulty spelling. Are there programs for students like this child who have completed a multi-sensory phonics program but still struggle to transfer spelling skills to everyday writing?

  • Mother of 16-year old with writing challenges falling through the cracks, despite IEP

    I have a 16-year-old son who is really struggling in school. He has severe dysgraphia and is doing little to no writing in school. He has an IEP for SLD in writing but he keeps falling through the cracks because the teacher doesn't realize his needs until after things fall apart. He has classic signs of dyslexia but always read with average ability so there has never been acknowledgement of dyslexia from the school. How do I prove this to them?
