Thanks for the guided reading suggestion. I'll give that a try.
I also wondered since we are in the same state. Has your school used RTI as an excuse not to offer additional support, i.e. she tests at grade level so she doesn't need extra LD or GT support? I've talked to several 2e parents who are running into this in our district.
They actually have used her being at grade level or just a bit beyond on their tests as reason to say that she isn't gifted. It took over a year of working with the district to get a GT id in language arts only. We were told initially by the school that two IQ tests and private achievement testing were due to "good guessing" and that her times where MAPS have come out higher were also good guessing.
She is honestly, much more intuitive in math and I really think that is her strongest area innately. Last year she was in accelerated math but does not have a math GT id. Accelerated math basically just consists of the exact same curriculum delivered somewhat faster.
The first time her IQ was tested, her PRI was in the 99th and her WIAT math composite was at the 98th. She also tested quite well on science and fairly well on math on the EXPLORE this past year, but I'm leaving the math battle for another day while we supplement with EPGY at home to see if we can get those all important MAPS scores up consistently to the 90s again.
The psych who tested her wrote very clearly in bold that dd does not have a LD. She may not. Either way, without a documented LD, she's not going to be getting any support for her "struggles" b/c she isn't below grade level.
