I have a 10 year old daughter who is very bright. Her verbal skills are amazing. She also happens to be a very good reader. However, now that she is in the 4th grade, we are beginning to notice some difficulties. She is really struggling in math. Especially on tests. They are all multipule choice and if she gets an answer wrong, she has almost always chosen the answer next to the correct one. On her last math test (fractions) the aid, teacher and I were all sure that she had a solid understanding of the material. She got a 55% on the test. She really struggles with spelling. She can memorize the words for the test and then misspells them soon there after. She misspells common words in her written work all the time. She completed speech last year for r and l dificulties. She has difficulties copying work from the board or the computer. She is an amazing out of the box thinker. Very logical. Great problem solver. She is involved in robiotics and loves it. She gets all a's and b's in school. She is forgetful (she is an 11 year old girl). She did not start reading or writing until she was almost 6. Once she did however, she took off. Thankfully the shcool was just happy that they were putting thoughts down and not big ont the spelling or neatness. My mom is severly dyslexic. Is is possile that she does so well in school yet has some form of dyslexia? Her teacher is wonderful and already makes some accomidations for her. I am affraid to lable her if it is not nesessary! PLEASE HELP1
