"you hit the nail on the head and you are right, but we have no programs available" 
This was in a response to myself talking to two teachers in what is known as language seminar, inclusive class. The week before this conversation the teachers learned that their jobs were in jeopardy due to budget cuts. (yes that is right, fire the guy who almost has a special education teacher credential...said sarcastically) Amazingly enough..I was agreed with and they said they would talk to the principal about a program that was recommended for J (Rewards) reading, excellence, word attack and rate development strategies. Then I was informed of a spending freeze. This is the program that sleepy used for her high school son with great success. I have the book (2000 version) and I am going to attempt this myself. I am no teacher, but I will try. Teachers are all up in arms in my neck of the woods. I feel for them, but J still needs to learn to decode, especially multi syllable words. Many dedicated and helpful teachers are going to lose jobs, some that really want to make a difference.
