Reading is somewhat of an issue (not so much as it was in kindy and 1st) when it comes to math, but not where the majority of her troubles come from. She struggles with comprehension of concepts if they require a grasp of directionality (before/after, more/less, etc) and she also transposes her digits frequently and reads them backwards (i.e. reads 46 as 64). Transposing even occurs when she is doing double digit adding and she will carry the wrong digit... for instance if she adds the numbers in the right column, comes up with 15, she will write down 1 and carry a 5. Sometimes she will also start adding the numbers on the left column first instead of the right column.
Everyday Math doesn't give enough practice before it spirals to another skill or concept. She requires a lot of repetition to retain what she has learned and EM is not giving her that.
