Maybe you are just seeing that as the child goes through school, the demands on focus and "producing" work increase.
Sorry to repeat post! I did want to say, though, that this hasn't been something that's come up in relation to getting further into school. We've had issues since 1st grade. Her test scores bounce all over the place, she drifts mentally and zones out, she misses questions due to very divergent approaches to things and regular simple errors. K wasn't an issue b/c she went in reading, writing, counting, tying her shoes, and really already at end of year goals so it didn't matter if she wasn't paying attention. Singing and playing games worked fine & she didn't need to do much output-wise.
Speed is also not an issue. She's actually very fast despite lower PSI scores on the WISC. I suspect that the PSI was largely impacted by mistakes moreso than working slowly. She completes work quickly; she just makes a lot of careless errors.
