Got Eva's last three spelling tests back.
90, 60, 40. On some of them, I can't tell which words she was trying to write. And I just don't understand how she can get them right with me every day from Monday through Thursday, and then get them wrong on the test.
I'm going to make Jenn write a note, asking if Eva can be excused from most spelling homework (just Monday and Thursday, I think) so she can spend the rest of the week going back to basics doing spelling with me from the very very beginning. Also if we can get her spelling tests back on the day they're done instead of a pile at once. Do you know NYC schools don't provide specific services for dyslexia? Programs for that (and one or two schools) are all private. I ever randomly get rich and I'm doing two things, I'm opening a new middle school and I'm opening up a school for dyslexic students, either as a charter school or a private one with a very sliding scale.

But no, we do suspect an auditory processing issue. However, getting her tested is turning into a massive hassle, because the place that does the testing has, for no reason I can fathom, decided to hide its number incomprehensibly in the phone system. I'm not sure they even staff it at all.
