I'm an elementary education major like a lot of people on the board and I echo what has been said - you don't need Sylvan! Reading is one of those skills that is best developed with lots of practice and personal attention.
I think it would be a fantastic activity for you and your son to take on becoming a life long good reader together. Set aside a half hour (more if you have the time!) to read together at least 5 times a week. Set a plan, go to the library and get some books and stick to it!
Talk to your son's teacher about diagnosing his current reading level - she should have tests she can either do, or give you to do. Talk to her about how far he realistically needs to come to be "on level"
I agree with everyone else - she handled this all wrong. you don't send a note home about something as important as detaining a student! Kudos to you for being so proactive.
