Hmmm...I'm wondering about the guided reading.
My DS6's working memory tests even higher than his VCI on the WISC, and I'm pretty sure that's because he memorizes things as a coping mechanism. Wouldn't the guided reading activities just encourage more memorization? Is that what you're going for with these sorts of activities, or is there some other mechanism at work there?
P.S. I do know that working memory is only very short-term memory. I don't want anyone to think that he's reciting entire books from memory. But he can hold a page in his head long enough to spit it back with *ease*.
