Mary, my dd with the associative memory weakness was given the WJ-III Test of Cognitive Abilities, not the WISC. I am on my way out of town for several days, but when I'm back I'll pull out her testing and compare it to the info I have about the WISC from my other kids' testing. The way it impacts her ability to read is that she has a difficult time remembering things she learns visually - so one of her accommodation recommendations is to have her textbooks etc on tape/dvd/etc so she can listen to them instead of relying on reading. For learning to read, she is supposed to listen and follow along in audiobooks, and we have recommendations for learning to spell too. We were told that we need to have her repeat back to us when we've told her something she needs to remember to be sure she remembers it, because otherwise she will *think* she knows it but she might not really have it ingrained in her memory - we see this kind of thing (now that we know to look for it!) in our lives at home when we give her instructions to do a task etc.
