My 9 year old daughter is dyslexic and in 3rd grade. This year the school is having all the 3rd graders take the Cogat as an assessment. I'm concerned because they don't get the test read to them like the younger grades. Instead they work on their own.

We can opt out of having her take the test. I'm just wondering what the benefits are to having her take the test. If anything I worry that she will be hard on herself if she doesn't do well (for reasons due to her learning differences).
