We have a similar issue. DS has dyslexia, but still reads 2 grades ahead. However; he also has dysgraphia, which puts his writing at about average for 5th grade. His sped teacher is working to get that level up before 6th. After much consideration, he is going to take Honor's English. He can always drop back to regular English or even Inclusion English if necessary. It would be much harder to move him up to Honors after the year begins (or even for 7th grade) than to move him back. In our sd, he can also drop his elective and get sped help in writing if we have to. He has been very resistant to get extra help (although that has improved lately since we've begun to -I can't beleive we're doing this - pay him for good behavior, which includes cooperating with teachers, in school). We may have to get a tutor also.
