[quote=Anonymous]Following on my above post and answering OP's question: requirements for reading skill for understanding math word problem vs. novel/poem are actually quite different. One of my DCs is very talented in math, had no problem to interpret word problem into math modeling, achieving good scores in math competitions, but couldn't understand the social cue embedded in novel's dialogue. The other DC is totally opposite, had instinct from the very beginning in understanding character's mood from reading the dialogue, crying and laughing with the story development, but couldn't interpret math word problems. I think they are talented at different ways, and no need to force them to be good at both. My first child is very much into reading one genre (yes, it's sci-fi), and I think it's good as long as they enjoy reading. [/quote]
