Well, DD's math homework yesterday was the first math assignment she has EVER had to think hard about. So that was pretty exciting. Rather predictably, she panicked a little and freaked out when I wouldn't tell her exactly how to do it (she had the computation skills but had never seen anything like it before...it was sort of "puzzler" type of math, from an enrichment program). But she got through it and figured it out herself and was proud. Yay! The first useful piece of homework she's had in her whole life.

However, I am still feeling gloomy about the reading issue.
