text: If your son has reading problems that leads to frustration and anger.  The frustration and anger make it even harder for him to learn.  So it is a never-ending circle.  \n\nHas your son ever had an educational assessment?  Are there any testing services at your school or school district?  You need to ask to have your son assessed to find out what the problem is.  You need to know the reason he is having trouble learning to read in order to address it.  He may have dyslexia - a learning disability - or he may not.  \n\nSome teachers refuse to read a student's file right away because they say they don't want to be "unfairly influenced" by what might be in there.  I disagree with that approach.  In future when your son has a new teacher go and talk to that teacher to make sure he/she reads your son's file.\n\nIdentifying the cause of the problem is the first step to finding a solution.  Ask for some assessment to determine if your son has a learning disability.\n\nHere are some links that may help you learn a little about dyslexia.
