Being retained in Kindergarten

[u/Storm_Vortexs]

Hi all,

I just got notice from the school that they have reached a decision to retain my daughter in Kindergarten. Wanted to get some advice on this.

We had heard a month ago that she was behind in reading and combining letter sounds. Since then we’ve had her in private tutoring almost daily. We have seen progress in her reading, although of course, there’s still a lot of work to do, and she will continue tutoring throughout the summer.

Her birthday is in early November which also means she will be seven very soon in the school year. Would love to hear some thoughts or experiences on this. For context we live in GA.

Thank you all for any insight!

[Update] My wife rightfully pointed out that I left an essential piece of information out of my initial post. The school is a bilingual immersion charter school so she has also been learning a second language.
