I’m considering hiring a private tutor for my son who uses a curriculum called Project Read. Has anyone had any experience with this program? Is it effective for LD children? Thanks.

Re: Project Read
I am responding to an old message you answered on Project Read. We are hoping to implement Project Read- Comprehension in our 5th and 6th mainstream classes with ICS Basic Skills students. Do you have any suggestions? Were you able to get through the curriculum in one year or did you break it up by grade levels? we were thinking of focusing on Story Form for the 5th grade and Report Form for the 6th. any info on your experiences would be appreciated.
