Dear Let's Go Learn, I am a homeschooling parent and mother of 6. Two of my sons are in college, four are homeschooling. My greatest teaching challenge is with my son who I recently had evaluated by a developmental optometrist.

Dear Let's Go Learn, My 8 yr. old daughter is beginning 3rd grade work this year. She continues to have difficulty with reading and reading comprehension. She frequently misreads words, guessing based on the first few letters rather than reading a complete word. She will occasionally read words backwards such as reading, "saw" as "was".

Dear Let's Go Learn, My 30-year-old son is developmentally disabled. He is high functioning; but in his school years in special classes the teachers focused on social skills and not reading.
