[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would get a neuropsych evaluation for sure. Have they ever struggled with reading in the past? How have their ELA scores been? Is there any way this could be a learning disorder or developmental issue that they've found ways to conceal and work around before? Or do you think it's just a brand new problem?

If this is a new issue, I might also reach out to a neurologist for scans and testing. An abrupt shift in reading comprehension and focus is concerning.[/quote]
I don't think it's a new issue. I think they've just been getting around it and managing it.  But, it's really hit hard this year because DC is taking APUSH which requires a lot more reading than in the past.

They were never a big reader to begin with, but now looking back, I have to wonder if this is why.   They always wanted me to read to them, but I would also have them read for like 20min at bedtime since they were young.  They probably weren't reading that much.

ELA MAP scores have been steadily declining since MS.  I attributed some of that to learning loss from covid, but now I'm thinking it's more than that.

I don't have any reading issues. I don't think DH does, but he does read slower than I do, and probably has slower reading processing speed (DH is an engineer). I think my sister might have some of these reading issues.
