Bee How can he be working at the 9th grade level and not be able to read? He has to read the questions, summaries in science and social studies, maps, story problems in math, etc. Is he doing any writing activities? (9th grade?) How old is he?

You need to get him interested in reading...wanting to read. Have a reading time for everyone, includ...See More
