[quote=Anonymous]To the previous posters who said IQ shouldn't change -- my foster kid tested at 100 in 1st grade, about 88 in 3rd grade (didn't cooperate with testing) and 71 in 5th grade (not yet medicated for ADHD). I personally think the mid80s reflects what we see. IReady scores in reading tended to be 23rd percentile pretty consistently in 3rd & 4th grade. Kid has 'moderate dyslexia' according to neuropsych. With lots of tutoring, reading practice every day, lots of handholding in math (and push in support) kid manages to hang in there. Everything takes longer. I'm frequently surprised by oral vocabulary holes. But even a lower-IQ kid can learn. And there are lots of ways to be successful as an adult, as you've seen in this thread.[/quote]
