aeh, thanks! I am very interested "oral reading fluency, reading inventories, writing fluency, math fluency, sight word vocabulary (e.g., Dolch list), knowledge of isolated phonograms". Anything that would show his strengths and weaknesses. At this point I would rather help with the weaknesses then always focus on the strengths. His strengths seem to balloon and he becomes high adsorbed.
