Thanks for the link, MichelleC. A lot of this conversation sounds like DS.
The psych who tested him originally didn't see any sign of dyslexia. I asked her about it after we had some LMB assessments done. She's a great psych...Hoagie's recommended. Interesting that dyslexia keeps popping up, however.
Aeh, I asked him the few questions you listed above and he did fine at this basic level. I know the decoding is a problem and had been planning to have my MIL evaluate him over the summer. She's a reading specialist. She's not accustomed to working with gifted kids, so I'm not sure how it will go.
We're homeschooling and I have plans to begin HWOT and All About Spelling next year. Do I also throw in phonics? Do I teach DS5 and DS8 phonics/reading at the same time??? That's somewhat rhetorical but I thought I was done with curve balls. Lol.
