Carolyn, I don't know anything about my child's level of accuracy, fluency and comprehension. Where would i find this? she had an psychoeducational evaluation two years ago, but we didn't go over any of this, except that they said she was dyslexic. There were several other challenges that needed immediate attention and this fell by the wayside.

Carolyn, thank you so much for this information. I'm in California, by the way. Memorizing and a spelling the states and capitals is not in the standards and it's so frustrating how much they push for the kids to accomplish this.

Hello, I need help with wording and suggestions for common dyslexia accommodations and goals, please. My child has an IEP already, but recently had been struggling with spelling tests and some reading. She is in 8th grade and has to memorize all 50 states and capitals and has to spell them correctly for full credit. We've asked for an emergency IEP meeting because my child can't do this assignment and it's causing incredible stress, but we don't have a dyslexia specific accommodation or goal. I feel that her dyslexia has not been addressed at all by the school, they keep saying she is doing well, but at home spelling is super hard, when she reads out loud she makes a lot of mistakes and reading comprehension is slow.
