Wendi,
You need to put in a formal request for Special Ed testing now. They are required by law to do it within 30 days. If he's doing that great at math and is struggling with reading, there could be a processing problem that only Special Ed teachers are trained to deal with. All the tutors in the world wouldn't be able to help him if he's LD and simply doesn't perceive things the same way as the rest of us do. The school is REQUIRED to address these needs at no cost to you. It sounds like he needs more than Reading Recovery has been offering. So, request that evaluation and make sure they do it. If he does have a learning disability, he could go to first grade for 10 years and it won't change without a specialist's help.
