[quote=Anonymous]We went with everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

We tried to give our DC other outlets for excellence.  It worked.  DC became a leader in several niches.

We tried to let our DC know that strengths and weaknesses can change.

We read to DC A LOT so DC could talk about the books the others were reading.

DC's third grade teacher was a miracle worker.  Find that teacher/tutor.

We encouraged DC to read books as DC's efforts started to bare fruit about 3.5 years after their peers.

We went to the library every weekend.  We minimized screen time and read to DC so even after DC could read, DC could talk about the harder books everyone else was reading.

We made sure DC had physical outlets so it was easier to read for pleasure.  DC spent countless hours reading and rereading books.

DC continues to improve each year.  DC's college test scores are a mix of near perfect reading and 6th grade grammar skills.

It is hard to predict but DC seems on track to attend UMd.

Good luck
