Gabalyn, your child sounds alot like mine. She loves books and listening, but the perfectionist thing may be getting in the way.

She also is so advanced on material...the type of book she is interested in (alice in wonderland, little women) is not what she is capable of reading herself.

She can sound things out, and does it well, so I dont think she has an auditory processing issue, and I just had her read letters to me on a small font printout, and she sees them all fine...

And, I did get a trial for a computer reading game to see if that sparks her interest a bit. We have not let her play with any screens until recently, no TV/videos etc, so any media is still pretty new and exciting for her.

We will go get her eyes checked though, since dad and I both wear glasses, should do it anyway. smile

Thanks for all your input!
