[quote=Anonymous]I think a large part of the problem is your daughter isn’t actively learning in school.  The teacher and the curriculum are part of the problem.  It sounds like she isn’t being present new material in class- hence the flat scores and drops in percentile.  While she may read hard material at home- she may not be learning the specific skills these questions are asking.  If she scored in the 80th percentile in the fall and teachers have never had concerns- I think it is very unlikely she has a learning disorder or is behind.

I would do some work with her over the summer. Maybe a mom/daughter book club? Get a kids magazine subscription and read articles together and talk about them, have her do some vocab work.  Get a Spectrum reading workbook a grade level up and have her work through that here and there.  Also a good tool, an IXL subscription.  IXL has assents, but my favorite part is it breaks down subjects into very specific categories and you can answer questions for those specific categories.  The MAP questions are very very similar to the questions on IXL[/quote]
