Does anyone have former preemie twins that are school age that are having trouble keeping up?

Question

my boys seem to be half a year behind in school and have already been held back in kindergarten,i do homework-tutoring with them 4 nights a week and they have came a long way but may not pass to 4th grade they are smart and can learn,just slower. any suggestions?

Answer 1

NO, but my moms friends had triplets, and they are in Kindergarten with my daughter, and it was a last minute decision to even put them in this school. They were going to have to go to a more 'concentrated' school (I can't think of the right word right now). But 2 of the three were really having a hard time, but after being split up and worked with, they are almost on track, and it's only been a year.

Answer 2

Try tutoring.

Answer 3

I don't have twins but my son was a preemie and he has always had a harder time learning than his sisters who werent.  He was ahead on the walking, talking etc and motor skills are great.  The pediatrician told us that a lot of preemies struggle with school and many will have an underlying learning disorder our sons was speech.  We got him a good tutor and spend more time with him in the evenings and he is doing a lot better.
