I homeschool my 11 year old daughter. She chews through math like a machine. She is supposed to be in the fifth grade, but we are doing sixth and seventh grade math, algebra and geometry and she loves it and just eats it up. She does very well in spelling and grammar.

She scores well on age appropriate IQ tests and has a large and varied vocabulary. So, here's my problem: Her reading comprehension seems normal to even high immediately after she reads a selection. Usually she can handle reading comprehension printables and answer appropriate questions immediately afterward up to a 10th grade level. But ask her the next day what she read and half the time she stares at me blankly. She just can't remember. We have been studying the Constitution this past week. We went over the Bill of Rights yesterday and today my husband asked her what it was and she gave him a really vague, sort of BS answer along the lines of "It's a Bill that talks about Rights."

Anyway, I have Googled several combinations of 'memory' and 'reading comprehension' and nothing is coming up. I would like to find some kind of software that helps with reading retention and with memory that would be suitable for ann 11 year old. If anybody knows of anything, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
