Thanks to Socks great advice I wrote a follwup letter to my sons IEP and it worked. The current case manager went to the accepeting case manager and bought up more information not brought up during the 1st meeting (his individual reading test scores that showed a independant reading level of 5th grade). In case you are curious the individual reading score did not get in the case managers hand until after the IEP. We had a private tutor who did the testing and sent it to the school. She told them she felt that they were hasty in removing his accomodations and that more remediation was needed. His accomodations were put back in place. It is now in his IEP that during his resource hour they are to work on study skills, organizational skills, and reading. This is possible because the resource classes are kept small so students can be worked with in small groups. The reading program they use is the SRA reading recovery. YES I have all of this in writing. Thank you Socks and all the other very important people who helped see me through this. God Bless you all.
Re: New News
Sue you are right. It is the SRA corrective reading. They mentioned several programs and decided to go with this one. We always back up what ever they are teaching at home. I don’t know how many times we have all tried to teach organizational skills—they just don’t stick with him. Thanks for all your help.
Do you mean “Corrective Reading?” (Reading REcovery isn’t SRA to my knowledge)
This sounds great :) :) :) — however, do keep track of just what he’s doing in the resource room. Most of our kiddos could have a whole period of study skills OR organization OR reading :) so whichever is getting the lighter touch, you may want to back up at home.
