| Is this a disorder?...
Hello, Im in search for some answers for my eight year old daughter. she has been struggling somewhat since the beginning of school, she is now in the third grade. In 2nd grade she was evaluated but passed all test offered with av. - above av. in some areas. except a little low in comprehnsion but was assured not to worry. -- She has problems "getting" her spelling words and remembering what she's read. like if she has written word 10 times each, she only looks at the word, writes what the letters are but don't learn the word or spelling. then if we do it orally. she learns the word (after much frustration!) but then fails the test. and its like the more we practice the more frustrated she gets and just blanks out. she tells me that when shes reading something from another paper or the board that when she looks back at her paper she only sees the board or other paper and can't think of what shes doing or suppose to do. and after reading a word/ paragraph she cant think of what to do or write. that she thinks of what to do after school or something she played the day before. We have gone over certian problems, say Multiplication tables over, over until were both in tears. and it just doesnt click. some she can remember, most she can't. shes not over active I could have her sit for an hour and she could care less. shes not very figity. but does have a hard time staying focused on what were doing. while doing homework, she will just blurt out hey, know what (such, such) did today. then we have to start all over with the project. akso she tells me when she reads that the words in a book it all goes together like a big letter or something? She has had her eyes tested and theyre fine... someone please help me out I feel like were drowning here. and her grades are like a yo-yo. what do I do? what could this be symptoms of ? all help is appreciated. I know there is something I can do but what? Do you think this is a disorder or what?
