[quote=Anonymous]She turned 6 in October. She’s in a private K-8, so we had to do WPPSI testing. She came out at 135 IQ with no dips in any abilities. She has a great vocabulary, but she really struggles sounding out words. For example, she’ll tell me the sounds for the word “rip” but can’t put them together. When she tries, she’ll add more sounds or just will tell me it’s too hard. We spoke with her school and her teacher said that they are working with her on sounding words, but they don’t perceive any issues. I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if it’s a concern that she’s struggling with these very phonetic words. As a result, she considers reading very difficult and doesn’t want to do it. I’m concerned she will avoid reading in general. The school has a reading specialist and I’m considering asking them to do an evaluation to rule out any underlying issues. [/quote]
