Good morning all of my readers. What a beautiful weekend we had. The weather is going to be great all week. Todays topic is How different are your kids.
 Just how much learning and dedication does schools give our kids?
Maddie is a GT student and school work is not what we have to work with her on, on the other hand Avery and Bailey are dyslexic and at times have a time struggle with their school work. So we are in a program that will help with the dyslexia. However how much do they need help. As we tested for this and we did learn alot. We learned that their IQ is high and usually is with dyslexia but struggle with the processing of words problems etc. We are having to create new things that will help with the processing. I am open to suggestions and will take any advice if you have dealt with this issue. I have learned that i must look at their grade book online every other day or so so I can stay on top of it. When I see there needs to be more help I speak up. Teachers will appreciate that you are honest and help in that area. So don't be afraid to speak up request conference and suggest things that will help the child. You know your child struggles and can see what will work and share with teacher if something is working. The program for dylexia is designed to gear their thinking process and brain to where in 3-5 years the program is not needed. I lean on the school to guide me and trust that they are really working on things to better this. However the state of Texas continues to take the programs that our children really NEED and keep the programs that are sometimes not needed. If you contuinue to take away programs that are NEEDED then where does that leave the child.....................left behind and struggling through school and sometimes in life. TEXAS listen to your parents...........Keep the Programs that we NEED not want! For some insteresting facts visit http://www.pbs.org/parents/readinglanguage/articles/dyslexia/the_facts.html
