Geofizz,
Yes! Thanks for that. DD was SCREENED at end of third grade by concerned teacher, but nothing showed up.
However, I am almost certain this is dyslexia.

Could you pls. explain the abbreviations I am not familiar with? IEP, WIAT, and KBIT? Will my DD have these tests as part of full assessment by educational psychologist?

DD has also just finished 4th grade, so your comments are really helpful. My ex husband has been calling me crazy, too emotional, and saying she needs more discipline(!). So I am forking over the $ for testing. Your comments help me know I'm on the right track.
Thru web research, I read the SPELLING is most sensitive indicator of dyslexia in gifted students.
