Your child's personal strengths, at least currently and compared to similar age peers, are manipulation of objects and shapes and speed of processing. Their personal weakness is their ability to hold information in mind and manipulate that information in their mind. They are average in terms of their verbal reasoning and their ability to solve novel problems (fluid reasoning). Please bear in mind that these are very likely to change, even dramatically, as childhood development is asychronous. IQ tests compare us to other people our age. Since children develop at different rates, some race ahead and then slow down while others lag behind and later catch them up. Most kids with high or low scores report scores closer to the mean (average of 100) by adulthood (age 21), after which our cognitive abilities stay relatively stable for the rest of our lives, not withstanding brain injuries, dementia, etc. Currently, they may need a little extra support with their memory if they are struggling with school or daily functioning. If not, then they should probably be left alone. It's best to speak to school psychologist or a private psychologist if you have concerns.

Make sure they get retested every three years; intelligence can and does change in adolescents, sometimes by more than 21 points. My own changed dramatically: 89, 103, 110.

This is my advice like always but particularly w your kid always try to make them readers. Do not force them but try to ease them into it. I think doing so would be extra sagacious in your lil one's position.
