First off he's only 6 so that teacher's comment really bothered me. He has great comprehension but that is because he pauses to "picture" the story in his head. He actually told the tester when she was asking him questions about what he had read, "How can I even remember the story when you kept interrupting me and telling me to read faster." Have to sympathize with DS6 here. He knows the parts of speech too. He tests into 3rd grade on their norms. He just doesn't read fast enough which sounds like a fairly common thread here. *sigh* So back to the homeschooling drawing board. Thanks.
