The student I am tutoring is doing well, and I am very happy at his progress. But he is still having some trouble mixing up certain letter. Example: p, d, and b. I’ve tried having him “air write” the letters, write the letters in rice, and associate the letters with different objects to get him to remember. I hope that this hurdle can be overcome soon.

I am going to try to get him enrolled in private school next year. The middle school he would be going to is known for how violent it is and would not be good for him. But in order to do that, he would have to ready for mainstreaming, which at this point is a long way off. I am hopeful, but nervous at the same time, because I don’t know if he will be ready.
