Wow *det*, your DS sound so much like Bri!

For any of the kids having problems with remembering, the teacher writes all instructions on the board, so they can read them. But DD is having so much trouble reading. She's on reading level 2, when she should be on 25... I think she might have visual issues too, but I really don't know enough about it.
She could read 'then' in a book 8 times, then on the 9th time (all sentences startin with the same words) she'll say something completely different, which makes me think she's working from memory & the pictures ONLY. Guesses don't start with the same letter...

We were given new home work to do last week. I say a word & DD writes it. Spelling doesn't matter at all, they just want to see if the kids can guess the basic sounds of the words. Eg - I said truck. You'd expect tuk, truk, chruk... etc, anything along those lines. DD came up with nothing remotely close. bmkrf or something similar (I'd look, but its at school).
