His spelling is absolutely horrible and always has been from the time he started spelling tests. I work with him a lot and it gets very frustrating due to the district refusing to do an IEP. They say that he is not eligible for any assistance and that he is performing just fine, which he isn't.
As far as the spelling on the test, it says multiple times that he was evaluated based on his ability but the correct spelling itself was not evaluated. He does process things very slow and most of the time things he is told have to be repeated. He excels at math even though this test does not show his actual abilities. He does horrible on timed fluency, which the test showed, but fantastic in the concepts. He is in Honors for math but has stated multiple times he is bored out of his mind. He scored A's and B's on his report card for math but did not study once or do any homework, which is why his grade dropped to a B. As far as science and humanities, he would spend an average of 3 hours a night trying to grasp the meaning of his assignments and write his assignments out. He cannot process the info and get it into words on paper.
