? About SRA reading system for Carrie or anyone
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:37 pm
I have been using TRL with dd. I like it, but I'm not sure we are gaining the desired results. DD has some difficulties that I feel may require some specialized training when it come to reading. After discussing some of dd's issues with another mom in our homeschool group who has a son who struggles with some of the same issues, I have learned about SRA Reading Mastery. This is a special program used in public schools with students who have some learning disabilities. My cousin teaches in one of those special classes and said that is what they use. I am not trying to downplay HOD's choices, or trying to endorse something else. I just feel I'm in a unique situation with my dd when it comes to reading, so I want to make sure i am utilizing resources that will help with some of dd's struggles. I was wondering if Carrie or anyone else is familiar with SRA. It is a very expensive program, but my cousin said I could probably use one of the school's teacher books. The other mom who used it said it really helped her son, after trying other reading programs. I'm just not sure which way to go. It sounds like a good option, but if anyone can give me more insight to help make a decision, I'd really appreciate it.
