Thanks for the quick response, Dottie. I was hoping you'd weigh in here.

I guess I was expecting the acheivement scores to be more in line with the IQ scores, based on reviewing the DYS criteria. There is a full SD difference!

Reading Comp is low relatively and Applied Math is on the high side. So the reading is of some concern, but it is something that she doesn't like to do - those pesty perfectionism issues crop up. One of the specific comments from the tester is that although DD sight reads, she doesn't decode unfamiliar words. I've seen this as well, she gets frustrated easily and gives up.
