He is currently reading at a seventh grade level. His wriCng is legible, but he only writes simple sentences of six to seven words. He acempts to phoneCcally write words, but becomes easily frustrated. He does well in ninth grade science and social studies during discussion, lectures, and when text materials are read aloud by other students. The teacher administers tests to him orally. Tommy is eager to respond verbally in science and social studies. Concern has been expressed about tenth grade, since it requires lots of independent reading and wri(ng.
