I apologize in advance, but I am going to tell you the answer that most parents do not want to be told. For dyslexic students it is critical to resolve academic problems as early as you can.

If you go to any major dyslexia conference in the United States, almost every program is K-3rd grade, and based on Dr. Orton's work. After grade 3, the dyslexic student is generally so far behind that significant intervention is needed.

I would therefore recommend that you keep your daughter in a special school until at least the end of third grade. Below is a link to the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators, they can teach you best on how to educate your daughter.

I created http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/ to provide the best general information on dyslexia online. In order to support the website I am starting an online tutoring business for highly motivated dyslexic high school and college students, using an innovative new approach based on the latest research in neural science, which was presented at the International Dyslexia Association, New York City Branch, in 2006.

In order to get a better idea about the capability of the online tutoring service I am offering, please visit www.TutorFi.com/demo and take a minute to view the video.

Please give me your feedback regarding the video and if you know any motivated dyslexic high school or college student�s that could use my special assistance, please visit me at http://www.tutorfi.com/manhattan-tutor and fill out the form on the right side of the webpage, below my picture.

I would appreciate you visiting me at http://www.dyslexiaconsultants.com/.
