[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this sounds so much like my gifted but dyslexic and dysgraphic kid. I’m glad you are already doing O-G interventions, that’s key, and that you have a full eval scheduled. I second the suggestion for a switch to Montessori if you can, it was a great fit (along with an O-G specialist 3x/wk) for my child from pre-k through 4th. Even if you don’t end up with a dyslexia and/or dysgraphia diagnosis, the O-G interventions are still great for the issues you describe. [/quote]

OP here. I’ll be honest, that’s our concern.

I went into her classroom after school about a week ago and asked her to show me some of her work. She showed me some very basic writing she did. I kid you not — there were 5-6 letter/number reversals in the 8-10 words she had written.

She forms letters in ways I’ve never seen before. She’ll tell us 63 is 36.

And yet, she can do puzzles that are well above her age range. She’s terrific at mental math. Her vocabulary is wonderful. [/quote]
