And, she cannot read italics very well. But, she is reading so far above her grade level that I think it might be remediating itself anyway.

Another thing she does is sound out a new word wrong and hold on to that pronunciation forever. This mostly happens with names.

Speaking of clones. All of these, with the last one that drives me bonkers.
Name in story: Gertrude
Him: "Gunther crossed the room."
Me: "It's Gertrude."
Him: "Gertrude."
Me: "Do you see an H in the name?"
Him: "No"
Me: "OK. Go ahead."
Him: "Gunther had crossed the room."
Me: *face palm*

OMG us too, LOL! As I have posted before, my DS does have vision issues (convergence issues) and much has improved with VT but we still have the issues of skipping words and adding words. And we have this 'Gertrude/Gunther' problem too... Almost always with names, I think. It's nice to have some company in chaos smile ...
