Okay, not literally. She can read... somewhat... when she feels like it. But she can't write and refuses to try to spell anything. We (read: I, because DH is gone all day) have the skids doing some work during their summer break to keep them sharp for the next school year. Mostly SD, because she came to us just... behind. Totally behind. She's a pretty poor student. The girl isn't sharp. She's usually a nice kid, tries to be helpful, gets along with her peers (but not her brother, which is par for the course), and is fairly athletic and outgoing. But she's just not bright.
