[QUOTE="Josie, post: 313845, member: 1792"] difficult child 2 started complaining in the 3rd Grade that she couldn't understand what she was reading or maybe that she couldn't remember it long enough to enjoy the story. I asked her teacher about it and she informally evaluated her and she seemed fine. Now, she was capable of reading at probably the 6th Grade Level and the test was probably on the 3rd Grade level. We thought maybe her comprehension was ok but just not on the same level as her reading ability. And we also thought her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) could be playing a part in it. Some kids with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) read and re-read because they aren't sure they got it. Last year, when she was in the 5th Grade, I had another neuropsychologist test done on her. This one did show that there was a significant gap between her ability to listen and understand and her ability to read and understand. The report also said that because of her overall high ability, she was able to compensate for this and would not really appear to have a problem. The neuropsychologist's recommendation was for her to read out loud when she could and to make a recording and listen to it when she needed to study. Possibly making notes, also. difficult child 1 is a big reader. She is in the 8th Grade and the LA teacher wants them to read for a certain number of minutes per week and keep a log of how much they read every day in minutes and pages. I told difficult child 1 she could "estimate" and/or "summarize" her log so she met the requirements. It would ruin my enjoyment of a book if I had to keep track of the minutes and pages I read every day. I don't think she has to write a summary, but if she did, I am sure she would just come up with something for every day at the end of the week. [/QUOTE]
