Thank you all. Editrix, your D's reading issues seem close to what happens with my D. A simple word - cat as an example - she can sound out the letters - Cuh - Ah -T ...but can't get to CAT - she just keeps repeating the separate sounds. She can't seem to blend them. Like your D, she then forgets it 10 seconds later. Also, if she reads CAT, and the next word is BAT, she misses the connection that BAT is CAT with a B. You would think if you can read CAT, you can read BAT. Not in her case.

And, aside from all of that, I have to maintain my sense of calm. Smetimes I just go into the kitchen and breathe deeply......because this is VERY frustrating work. I don't think anything else in my life has ever frustrated me this much.

I will keep you all posted.
