Hello Renie,
Clayton has made such remarkable progress - pretty amazing.
From
last April (just under a year ago), he was at a pre-primmer level (preschool)
and is now at a 4th grade level for reading and comprehension! And
his writing is amazing also.
And he's only in the 2nd grade! Math
is coming along just fine, we'll need to keep working on basics with him
but he understands the concepts. So pretty exciting. The story he wrote for class
recently was 10+ pages long - she said he just kept going on and on. Well thought
out. You'll have to see his work sometime! Supposedly he's been the talk of
the teacher lunchroom about how much he has improved! And his confidence has
grown by leaps and bounds!
We agreed to pull him out of the OT help that he had 1/week since his
writing is doing just fine. We could have pulled him from the resource
room also, but we all agreed to keep him through the end of this year. They'll
concentrate on spelling and writing. Then we'll re-evaluate in the
fall after summer break.
Thank you again for all you did! That was the beginning of a great
change for Clayton. With your help, our support and the support of
teachers, the sky has become the limit for Clayton! He's soaring high!
Regards,
*Laurie
