Hello everyone,

I wanted to write this because it was so surprising to me. When doing

homework with my 8 year old son, (dx,AS). Its a challenge. Just to do

spelling words, I have to first teach him to read the words. then we

learn to spell them. I've learned a lot of strategies just from this

site. they were all helpfull. reading a book is also another

challenge. but, we are doing it each night. For this week, along

with his spelling words I also had a full page (typed)from his

teacher. all kinds of science questions that he will have on a test

tomorrow. they had more than one question with each sentence. when I

first saw this, it was overwhelming. I woundered how will he ever

learn " all " these questions. I couldn't believe it. each and every

question I ask him he answered without even thinking about the

answer. He knew that whole " typed " full page of science questions. I

can't wait to see how he will do on a written test tomorrow. because

he will have to read it and write the answer down. which is his weak

area. but, when I asked each question. He knew each answer. Does

anyone else have a weak area and a strong area? with their child.
