Hi, Jewel
I think MATH is really easy to catch up. I think DD just needs to be exposed to more advanced contents since she didn't get them at school. Singapore math works extremely well for kids at young age. Just buy the workbooks and have her work on it. There are placement tests that you can have her to take before you decide which level to start with. We had very good experience with my DD7. She has improved 20 points in MAP from 2012 fall to 2013 spring. (She started at 99% in the fall) She is in the math enrichment class but I don't think it helps at all in terms of MAP testing. If you need to know more, feel free to PM me.
I am in fact frustrated with my DD's reading score. How did your DD8 improve her reading score? My DD7's read MAP scores of winter is above 220 too. For some reasons it dropped a lot in spring. She had no acceleration of reading at school. But she reads a LOT at home as well. (finish book of 400-500 pages in 1-2 days.) I don't know why it dropped to a score even lower than the beginning of the school year.
Can you share what you have done for DD in terms of reading?
