It's official now. After the evaluation, the specialist determined that he does have dyslexia. It makes so much sense in terms of how much he's been struggling with aspects of reading that should've been easy for him at his age.
While reading is on hold, we've continued with our regular schedule for other subjects. One advise the tutor gave us was to read him all instructional material in all subjects until he's up to speed so as not to tax him too much. I've honestly been doing that all along.
In Social studies, we were studying the Ancient Civilization of Mali, and as part of the unit watched some videos on African drumming and dancing. We also made a few drums to try out!
For science, we're working on the different biomes of the world. To set the mood, we listened to sounds from each biome, read books, watching short video clips, and drew pictures of each biome.
We had a nice break for our monarch release (which tied in well with migration and hibernation)!
