[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 313904, member: 1024"] MWM, thank you.... As you will see from my sig...I've always thought Missy was extremely bright, because she was very articulate from a very young age. She spoke sentences quite early and would actually impress other adults at how smart she seemed to be. This is why I was a bit confused when she started coming home with very poor reading comprehension scores. Her scores get progressively worse with each grade. I look at some of her work that is being sent home by the teacher and the questions that she answers are incomplete and/or blatantly wrong. Such as what is problem that the main character of the story is dealing with....She answered The Farmer (the main character). She simply sees "main character" in the question and thinks the question is "who is the main character?" and the like. Yet, her spelling is wonderful. I don't know about the spatial issues. She's so-so in math....The main issue is the questions where reading is involved and are a few steps involved in order to get the answer. She did have some balance problems when she was younger. She is kind of clumsy, but not terribly. I don't know if this is her problem or not, but there are the few red flags that are waving in front of me. So, at the meeting tomorrow, I will tell them that I want this test done, which is probably part of all the testing, but I want to make sure that they aren't going to eliminate this as a possibility. She's been denied testing twice already (which the school district knows they are in hot water for, since they did not follow the 504 law, but that's another story). New director of Special Education made the recommendation for testing, per my request, and I know it will be done this time. I already have an advocate lined up if they don't. [/QUOTE]
