Need a little advice; parenting/school

You've gotten some good responses here and I will try to not duplicate unnecessarily. I teach 1st grade and I have two kids of my own that are night/day. My oldest is a high functioning Autistic an does great in school(reg ed) by anyones standards. My younger ds is a typical kid, but struggles in school. I have struggled over him struggling. That is not a fun place to be, and I'm sorry you're having to do that. Try not to beat yourself up about the vision issue. That will be a non-issue before you know it.(I know it may not seem that way now.)
ANYWAY... the teacher may want to meet with you so that she can put some help in place. If Title 1 is available at your school, it may/may not already be in place for your child. I would ask about tutors. Some schools have them. My school will use a tutor for a child that needs extra help as a part of an intervention strategy. I wouldn't be afraid to ask for help in this manner, but try to state it in a way that doesn't sound like they owe this to your daughter. Every school is different. Find out what they normally do for a child that needs extra help and ask for that. AT theend of the day, if you still don't feel it is enough, definitely seek outside help. One thing I tell parents is that it is easier to make 1st grade skills more solid than it is to try to catch them up at any other grade. The year is still young. It is not too late.
