"How about tests to measure aspects of reading such as phonemic awareness, naming skills (CTOPP, RAN/RAS would be examples). "
i don't know anything about these. Would i ask at the school? speak to her teacher? guidance?
As far as reading, her WJ-III from april (age 6.9) :
broad reading = 99.5 (ge 3.7)
broad written = >99.9 (ge 4.2)
basic reading = 99 (ge 3.5)
written expression = >99.9 (ge 4.2)
reading fluency = 99.8 (ge 5.2)
spelling = 99 (ge 3.3)
writing fluency = 99.8 (ge 4.9)
passage comprehension = 95 (ge 3)
i asked DD if she is still whispering and she said she thinks it over and over in her head and sometimes can't get rid of it. She says right now "Fred Movie, tonight at 8. Fred Movie, tonight at 8. Fred Movie, tonight at 8." is stuck in her head (from the other day when she wanted to remember it was on even though we set the DVR for her. She said she still has one of the things that was on the post-it note in her head (that was from at least 5 weeks ago) She is upset that she can't get it all to go away. I asked if it going over and over in her head when she is trying to listen to lessons at school and she said no. I hope it's just a little nuisance thing, like getting a song stuck in your head not an actual problem. We have a history of OCD.
"So, you will want to be sure she learns the strategies to help free up hard drive space and reduce anxiety and frustration."
I don't even know where to start!! but... that's why i am here. maybe the teacher next?
THanks again
