Thanks Cricket....yes reading comp is probably more the issue. I mentioned abstraction in the thought of the greater emphasis that is placed on reading at home to understand a new concept. I don 't have her scores, but I recall there being large spreads in her scores leading them to further test for ADHD and CAPD (both were not identified). Her focus is admirable, which is why she pushes despite her struggles. She hes always reminded me of a CAPD kid...using big words improperly (but near the correct word), struggling to follow verbal directions appropriately, not understanding inferred jokes. But I know her reading is very slow (her father reads extremely slow as well and reread things but solves problems brilliantly as a cryptologist).
