Hi Tizz2008, I see a lot of this in my DS7 too. His comprehension is up there when someone else reads to him. He struggles reading out loud and skips around a lot. He was diagnosed with tracking issues which we are working on. He also cannot tune out background noise which makes 'school' really difficult. We were told by a neurologist (who seemed to really understand gifties) that he is most likely experiencing asynchronous development. I hope it all evens out soon. I also wonder about 'stealth dyslexia' versus 'visual spatial' or both. He draws pictures always instead of words and his spelling is well...

It's so hard to watch them struggle when they are so smart. The Neurologist also said his brain is moving much faster than his senses (eyes,ears and hands) can keep up hence the struggles.

HTH and you find some solutions that help you.
