Thank you aeh. I was waiting for a reply. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. You have given me a lot to think about.
I never thought of language as a problem. She is a voracious reader, reading books way beyond grade level. In fact, reading in class is her way of rebelling I think. We often talk about what she reads (mostly nonfiction) and while I have not formally tested her she seems to be fully comprehending what she reads. How would I test for a receptive language problem? What would the clues be?
Her handwriting is poor and the only achievement test not in 130+ range. She is generally impatient and has a hard time slowing down to write.
The too hard and too easy comment struck me. She once wrote on a math test "I am mistreated." I asked her what that meant and she said the work was too easy. It was so easy that it was hard.
So what to do next?
