Things are getting better with DD after a slow start, but we have continuing concerns that she may really have an audiory processing problem or "something else" going on. This was the first year I saw evidence of the "summer slide" that everyone talks about. She had to sort of get the gears going again. Though she read like a fiend over the summer, she did virtually no writing or math (I just didn't bother with it since she's been more than able to meet expectations) and she was rusty.
