Reading
I had one of those children that I discovered couldn’t read towards the middle of her second grade year. The school was no help the teachers had failed us every time we had questioned it. Finally paid a private center for testing only to discover she could only read at a kindergarten 3rd month level. 12 months of tutoring brought it back around but watching her struggle to learn it all again was heartbreaking and I saw how it was possible these kids get lost in the system and just keep progressing to each grade getting overlooked.
