aeh,
I'm just wondering - is the comparison between oral language and reading/written language relevant even when they are just learning to read?
Our DS6 is learning to read very slowly and it strikes me as very odd given that he has an exceptional vocabulary/oral language, loves to play with words (he started playing with rhymes when he was 3) and seems to catch on very quickly when it comes to just about everything else. Also, he LOVES books and LOVES to learn but HATES to read. I should mention that he is reading at level or even slightly above, but it still seems slow considering everything else.
We haven't had him tested yet so we don't even know if he's gifted, but I suspect that he's probably 2E.
