I just read the article Knute and just have to say "Wow"! So much of that sounds like my daughter.
She tends to skip words when reading out loud...
She rarely gets a 100 on a math test because there is some simple mistake on the test that she obviously knows the answer to when asked.
Poor eye/hand coordination would explain why she gets frustrated when trying to create something and just can't get her hands to cooperate. She is in no way athletic and avoids sports because she knows she can't do what the other kids do and doesn't want to embarrass herself.
Please cross your fingers that the school psychologist responds to my meeting request! According to the teacher it may be hard getting the school district to do anything since she is gifted and her grades are good. We have to prove that her problems are in some way hindering her education.
