Kristina, first sorry about the first long one before AD went down. ugh.
I think you are a good mother who gives a lot of times to be with your children and homeschooling them. i couldn't do it but you are doing it with your kids. that is so amazing with your disabilities and you are doing alright so far.Thank you!!
now you mentioned reading comprehsion problem. No one or teachers told me about my reading compregsion problem except i saw teachers wrote reports about me that i have reading comprehsion problem. I realize that I did struggle to answer the problem math solve questions when i was a kid. I am not a fan of those problem solve questions.
I suppose some teachers decide not to say anything to the parents about their children when children have problems. Like some kids who couldn't read and write received HS diplomas. I have a few friends who graduated as well as hubby, who can't read and can't do simple math. It's really sad.
I just figured that we are to do what we can with what we've been dealt. It hasn't been easy, but it makes a person feel good to know that they are doing what they can and moving forward. Daughter can follow a recipe and bake cookies or cakes. She works hard to match the measuring spoon or cup to the directions. She is also very careful to have everything ready first. We cover the cookbook page with plastic wrap, and she uses a dry erase marker to check off all ingredients and each step done. When finished, we just take off the plastic wrap and have a clean cookbook. Nifty, huh?
