What to Do About Son Acting Out in School

My son started all-day kindergarten this year, and all sorts of issues have arisen since he began. He is normally HIGHLY independent, but also tends to be a very happy boy, cheery, excited about everything. But in just a few months he's started acting out in class, on the playground, and even on the bus. Yesterday he said the S-word in class, and even tried to get a classmate to say it.

Poor Reading Fluency (Slow)

My daughter is in 2nd grade and was tested on the TRPI as being slow/low in the area of reading fluency. She tested at a 42 wpm (words per min.) and the minimum they want to see at the 2.0 mark is 50 wpm and at the end of second grade they want 90 wpm. I was writing to ask you all some techniques/ideas/books etc. that I can work with her on to improve her reading fluency. FYI her comprehension is good and she has a 2.8 reading level. Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
