OP, my husband was super concerned about the disjunct you were describing when DD was if first. Thought immediately turned to dyslexia and that led to a neuropsych exam. Outcome ADHD inattentive type.

Wow, thanks for this info, PP. I am just above you and facing the same problem as OP (only worse I would say). I had no idea that inattentive ADHD was associated with poor spelling. I was thinking dysgraphia, possibly mild dyslexia. But I guess they're all processing issues and I know my kid has low processing speed due to a previous Eval which was in K so not knowing how to spell was normal.
