My child is schooling at a public inquiry based school. Love it. The model fits her learning style pretty well.
She has been going to summer school, to get a different take on reading.
I have tried teaching her reading.
She is very very smart. But she is struggling with reading. She is just barely at grade level (going into two).
I've had her eyes checked. She isn't dyslexic. Until I pointed it out to teachers, they were not aware that she was memorizing books and wasn't actually reading.
I think that the teachers are missing something. I am pretty sure that the fact that she is smart is hiding the fact that something more is going on.
(Had this problem with DD2 as well. Being advanced was obfuscating a sensory problem.)
She is very spatial. As in she couldn't draw a number five until this spring, but she could tell me that we just DROVE a number five.
Anyone recognize this at all? Seen it? Lived it? Have an idea what is happening? Things that we can do that are off the beaten path? What sort of assessements might be done to ferret out what I suspect might be a hidden learning disorder? Am I just insane? (I'm willing to entertain the possibility.)
