We have a similar problem here-- summarizing and writing are a challenge-- but compounded by the fact that all of the district's chosen reading comprehension tests are summarizing tests... which means DS7 stays well disguised as an expert reader. I don't think they really grasp what he can do, because they're not measuring it.
