Today I had a meeting with my DDs teacher and she thinks there is a big discrepancy between DD's intelligence compared to her written work. She appears quite bright and has a good level of insight into the meaning of text and good creativity, but if asked to write things down, she does not do nearly as well. Her spelling and sentence construction are poor, apparently. Her reading level is fine. She is 9. Does this point to dyslexia? Her times tables are also fairly poor, and she is incredibly unmotivated when it comes to learning facts off by heart. Would be grateful for any views.
