My daughter is 8 years old and in the second grade. She has always loved school. She has the same teacher that she had last year but because she was deemed gifted last year, she’s in a gifted program.

So, she’s very smart. Very sociable and overall she’s usually a very good kid.

This year she’s been struggling with a few things specifically.

They are supposed to read and take quizzes on at least 5 books a week. These books range from chapter to short stories. She can pick her own books as long as they’re in her level. She has the option to read at home and take the quiz in class the following day or read and take quizzes in class during a specific period.

The issue is that she’s consistently failing to take these quizzes. She is averaging 1-2 quizzes a week when her goal is 5. I have talked to her numerous times about this, I’ve written her notes in her folder reminding her to bring books home so we can read together and a note to remind her to take a quiz the next day, I’ve done rewards at home for each quiz taken, and recently he teacher and I started working together. Now she loses her recess or free time the following day if she fails to take a quiz. However, she still continues to not do it!

She has always liked math as well but they do speed drills and she’s been stuck on the same level for nearly two months.

I’m at my wits end with her this year!

Any advice ??
