I know she's reading at grade level because her comprehension is at grade level. She can sound out books that are above her level but she doesn't understand a lot of it. When I can find books that she likes (the latest was Miss Happiness and Miss Flower by Rumer Godden) she will plow through it and understand it, but that book appears to be for 7-9 year olds (she's 8). However when we have tried out higher level books she will watch the clock (she is supposed to read 20 minutes a day for school) I finally tried her out on a couple of books and she liked Rumer Godden but not Percy Jackson (although she loved Percy Jackson when I read it to her). My family, with the exception of my brother who believes he has stealth dyslexia, are voracious readers. So that's why I want to get it checked out. aeh advised that she may have a problem as her verbal level on the WISC IV was much higher than her reading level and that suggests a possible issue.
Polarbear, thanks I will call and ask her doctor if they have a recommendation.
