My story about: Learning Disabilities

My son is in the 2nd grade and we have been struggling with his reading since the 1st grade. This last semester is the first time the Teachers have decided to sit down and really discuss my concerns. He is finishing up the 2nd grade and is just now reaching 2nd grade reading level but when confronted in the past the teachers assured me he was right on task. Now instead of really wanting to help with the reading and change any of their teaching methods they want to diagnos him as ADD and put him on medication. I really don't want to do that until everthing else that can possibly be done is done first before I medicate him. Any suggestions? Did I mention that he was a 2 month early premature baby? Would this have anything to do with his reading development skills? I have been trying to find information on that but have been unsuccessful. Any information or advise will surely be appreciated. Thank you
