[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  His teacher is concerned and is seeing the same.  He is making progress but really, really slowly.    I have not shared my suspicions with her just yet.  We are meeting with the committee at the school in a few weeks to discuss techniques and ideas to help him.  I certainly have already eased up on the whole "he's so bright, this can't be" kind of attitude.  He is the most amazing person, like I say, has an incredible awareness and maturity; an ability to discuss concepts and an imagination that so many people observe as ridiculously advanced for a 5 year old.  He is so talented in so many ways, but I asked him to write his numbers 1-10 today and he completely could not get "8" or "10".  And reading tonight we were looking at the sight words he should recognize and he just could not get the likes of "It" or "as".  Since I have had the 'aha' moment and realised something is up, I have also stopped saying "Come on, we KNOW this" because we had gone over it numerous times before.  All very new to us but it is very reassuring to read your experiences and advice.  THANK YOU.  [/quote]
