I know all this, but I guess I think my child is ready to move beyond this stage, and was wondering if other kids showed a gap between reading skills and spelling / punctuation skills.
My DS8 taught himself to read at a very early age. His reading and comprehension scores are incredibly high, and have been since he was first tested. His spelling, not so much. At his current school for HG kids, the spelling is incredibly challenging. That was the first time we had to try to teach study habits, so we were happy to find a challenge. (And I had to learn how to help him learn spelling too, since spelling always came easily to me - I can look at a word once and remember how to spell it.)
Grammar is also not as high for DS8, but I'm not exactly sure what he's learning in school. He just finished 3rd. Not something we've ever taught at home. He's always gotten good grades in everything anyway, so I'm not worried about it. If it was getting in his way somehow, I might change my tune.
