Placement for kids with dyslexia
Posted: Fri May 01, 2015 8:48 am
I need help with a good plan for my kiddos. My b/g twins are almost 14 and going into 8th grade (reading/math at a much lower level). My youngest son is almost 10 and going into 4th grade (close to grade level). All three have dyslexia with a mix of dysgraphia and discalculia thrown in. We are working through the Barton program which is going well but the challenge that I have is that at this stage I have to read everything to them (they can read but this is a restriction in the Barton program to retrain their reading habits). We listen to a lot of audio books!
Math and Language take at least 3 hours of our day. Is it really possible to do two levels of HOD when I have to read everything in both levels or is finding a level in between the two to combine them best?
My youngest would really fit well in Bigger Hearts and the olders would like to do American History, too, but that seems too young for them, though I could certainly add in a few things. Next year they will be reading on their own so this year is a flexible year. My goal is to have a curriculum to finish out their schooling. I've been way too eclectic over the years which hasn't helped my struggling learners!
I'm open to any ideas, thoughts, and opinions!
Thanks!
