Answer 1

I found info on the terrible eek for you...

Many answers here: From Kirkus Reviews
When, on a rainy night, a man tells his little son that the things he most fears are a thief, a wolf, and a ``terrible leak,'' his words are overheard by both a thief who happens to be on the roof and a nearby wolf. At first, both are proud to be thought so powerful; but when the thief falls onto the wolf, each believes the other to be the mysterious third thing. Terrified, they bolt, and frighten several other animals with their misheard story about the ``terrible eek.'' This amusing fable, nicely concluded with the little family sleeping peacefully after the storm, is fine for reading or telling. Hamanaka, who will be remembered for The Journey (1990), provides powerfully expressive paintings with rich dark colors, simple yet dramatic designs, and comical, broadly rendered animals.

If you need more - Go to yahoo.com and search for "Terrible EEK" - with the double quotes - and after the double quotes "rainy night" with quotes. this forces yahoo to return only those two phrases!!!
Good luck.

I commend you for all that you have already done as a parent. Most people wouldn't have gone through all of that trouble. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with holding him back. He will be better off in the long run if you do. My first thought after reading your details was that he probably was gifted in other areas like you stated. The educational system is far more advanced then it was when I was in school. Kids are now learning in the 2nd grade what me and my husband learned in the 4th. So don't think for one second that it is something that you have done or that your son isn't smart enough. He can do it, it just make take him some time and he may learn things differently. I can be told how to do something and forget right after. If someone lets me do something and walk me through so that I get a hands on experience, I'll never forget how to do it. May he is a hands on learner, also known as a kenesthetic learner. I'm not sure on the spelling on that. Just keep up what your doing and go ahead and let him stay in the 2nd grade one more year and see if that helps him. Good luck.

The only thing i can really say is for you guys to do what my daughter and i did and look up the book on the internet. Sometimes you will end up at a book club and it will give a discription of the book and some of the words. Some will even give you a few pages to read to get you to buy it. The only thing else is to call him in sick and go to the library and check it out. Good luck. Ours was Judy Moody.

Answer 7

It's possible to invest a lot of time and income trying to find approaches to show your young ones how to learn and enhance their reading skills. Is hard to instruct a tiny child how to see, and even alluring them to read is difficult in itself. However it doesn't have to be that way since you got assistance from the program https://tr.im/110pC , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you may teach your child how to separate seems and separate phrases in to phonemes, an essential issue when your kid is merely learning how to spell.
The reading system from Children Learning Reading program makes it easy for kids to read easily and properly, from easy phrases to sentences until they learn to learn stories.

You have received very good and professional answers, but there is no answer possible that will relieve you from the doubts you have about the decision you have to make. And that is mainly because we as educators and specialists with all our experience and insight still can not predict how the development of a child will be. As already mentioned by others, the fact that you are so much involved in the well being of your child is admirable. **Let's look at some basic assumptions -The expectations for a first grader are: Reads aloud slowly and deliberately (about 30 words per minute) Begins to use strategies to figure out new words Recognizes words at a glance. Begins to read silently Has a 300-500 word reading vocabulary Can count the number of syllables in a word Can blend or segment the phonemes of most one syllable words -The expectations for a second grader are: Reads about 60 words per minute Reads both fiction and non-fiction written for grade level Can sound out unknown words of one or two syllables Has improved comprehension Re-reads sentences when meaning is not clear Recalls facts and details from texts Poses possible answers to "how", "why" and "what if" questions -The expectations for a third grader are: Reads about 90 words per minute. Reads aloud with fluency and comprehension when using grade level material Has a good repertoire of "word attack" skills and strategies to sound out unknown words Can summarize major points from fiction and non-fiction stories Can infer word meanings from roots, prefixes and suffixes that they have been taught Reads many kinds of children's books Uses different ways of reading, sounding out words, getting information from the story and personal knowledge to understand stories and learn new words Understands the themes or main ideas in what he or she reads -The years from birth to ten are an irreplaceable season for brain development. Vision, hearing, touch, large muscle control, and small muscle skill all develop at the same time as the baby learns to pay attention to the sights and sounds around it, make decisions, and process information. The result is a pattern of connected images, symbols, memories, needs, desires, ideas, and emotions that make him or her into a human being, capable of interacting with others who have the same complex connections. -There are "learning windows" for some skills. Children effortlessly absorb the syntactical rules of their primary tongue (or more than one) by age 5 or 6; after that point, they have to memorize and remember rules for forming sentences -At about age 10, the brain begins ruthlessly eliminating the less-used synapses. This physiological fact may explain why remediation, which usually starts in the fourth grade, is such hard work and why it is so seldom completely successful. -An 18-year-old has the brain he will have for the rest of his life. -Good reading is an important ability but not absolutely necessary to be successful in life. -Advancing in school within the cohort a child has entered the school, gives more often than not a child a feeling of protection and security. -Staying behind often takes away a feeling of protection and security at least for some time. -If a child is accepted in a group. It is accepted with all its abilities, disabilities and the way it behaves. -If a child is not accepted in a group. It is rejected with all its abilities, disabilities and the way it behaves. -Your son is too young to be rational involved in this decision. **Lets look at some speculations what can happen if he repeat 2nd grade: -He has given more time to develop as a reader and reach the second grade expectations. -There is no guarantee that at the end of the year he will be ready for 3rd grade reading or that there is much progress at all. -In most other areas there will be no challenge to learn / develop anymore as it will be mainly repetition. -He has to establish new social relationships with the new kids in his new group, who are not aware of his disability the way the group he is in now. -He has to find new ways to involve the new classmates in his learning process. -For a teacher, a child that repeat the same grade, is often much more difficult to deal with to motivate, to give extra attention, to find new assignments to prevent boredom. -The important development of the other areas is for a great deal put on hold. **Lets look at some speculations what can happen if he goes to the 3rd grade: -The gap in reading skills between him and the rest of the class will become more obvious and can work as a demotivation for all his learning. -The important development of the other areas is not disturbed. -He continues to involve his classmates in his learning process that I believe he has established now. -He feels himself accepted in the group he is in as he is. And with all these presumptions and premises it is still not clear what the best choice can be, because a main factor will be you and the teacher(s) and specialist that will work with him. The only way to come to the most satisfying diagnosis is to sit together with all the people involved and ask them their expectations and above all a plan for his treatment and learning process, where every one, included you as much as possible is involved. And together it is possible that you can make a flexible plan where he will have a part of his schooling in the third grade so the important development of the other area's are not disturbed and a part will be in the second grade and through IEP, together with your help. As long as he is not able to get the appropriate reading level and as long it is unclear what can be the reason for this disability, it is important to guide and have your son guided by people that will motivate him, give him the possibility to develop his self esteem and prepare him for the notion that he is special and as such has to do some things different. A great help for him can possibly be a computer with text to speech possibilities, that read the text for him and it is to be seen if in this way he have an even better possibility of developing the other areas without too much disturbance. I wish you well in your difficult decision and hope that more people take the time to help you find an answer to your question so you also can get the confidence that you have done what you possibly could do and have made the best decision possible at this moment.
