My side of the family has a history of struggling to learn to read (even though we are all fairly bright). My dad, myself and my brother are now avid readers, but have a much larger reading vocabulary than a spoken vocabulary due to not knowing how to pronounce the words we know. None of us can help the little kids in our families with their phonics homework. It is Greek to us. Our spelling goes from below average to very poor. I was LD for reading/spelling in elementary, but was "gifted" by high school but still had poor spelling.
I guess I am just worried about her.
I know she is smart, and she is still making straight A's after the grade skip, it is just that I worry she has a deficit that might hinder her as the courses get more challenging in high school and college.
She too is an avid reader, and she had an easier time of it than I, but her pronunciation skills don't seem to be as strong as her other bright friends. On the plus side, her spelling is much better than mine at her age. We are both poor at associating names/faces. She is taking high school algebra right now, but still doesn't know all her time tables by heart despite concerted effort.
Any thoughts on the unusual scores of my beloved odd-ball?
