My friend who also has a son aged 5 born in April but goes to another school has given her son private tutoring on a weekend with a group. I don't want my son to feel Upset there are 2 others in his class who need read recovery. Should I get a private tutor in a group or he does it at school 30 mins individually M-F for 6 months. Need advice. Reader recovery is optional

I think it is a great opportunity for him because it will help him keep up and not fall further behind if he is struggling in one area or another within reading. Once a child falls behind in reading or another subject area, it can make it harder to catch up faster if done earlier. The teacher who does it is a specialist who has received training on helping him and other kids like him. It is a pretty common program since the federal government set it up. However, each school sets it up differently when the program is offered on timing. If it is a pull out session, there are a number of kids each day pulled out for services whether it is speech therapy or help with reading and or math. I would go with the school first before trying the private tutor. Good luck!

I am a reading intervention teacher, and I find that kids want to work with me! They like the individual attention, and don't seem to know why I am working with them at that age. Kids get pulled out for lots of things- English Language Learners often work with an ELL teacher; sometimes kids work with a gifted and talented resource teacher, etc. Try to put a positive spin on it to make him feel like he is lucky to get to work in the group. However, you may want to consider the tutoring as well. But you don't want to overdo it either. He is very young- and sometimes kids just aren't developmentally ready; he may just need some time to mature.

Perhaps the weekend group tutor would be good. If he is a tad upset with it, it may help to know that there are others who have to have a tutor too :)

I would try the schools group for a while and if you or his teachers don't see any improvement then i would get a private tutor.

I think a group would be beneficial so he doesn't feel singled out. He may feel self-conscious or insecure about thinking he's the only one needing help. This would show that there are others going through the same thing.

I think he should have one on one sessions~ children respond better when there are less distractions i.e. other children, etc.
He would benefit greatly by getting the extra help now at a young age, rather than waiting until he gets older and has to stuggle his way through school.
Optional or not Sign him up :)

he doesn't need 'reading recovery' there is nothing wrong with him not reading already. they're trying to give him a complex already???
take him out of school and homeschool him. appropriately. before his self-esteem and love of learning are destroyed.
