[quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten is early to be able to test for dyslexia.  I have dyslexia myself - and have been hawklike in signs with my DS.  Short vowels are considered a first grade skill generally - and not really a neurological sign vs. things like decoding tap words.  This site (and author) have a lot of good info http://dyslexia.yale.edu/clues1.html.  If he's decoding Bob books, he is going to in range for K (and even early first).  Most dyslexia specialists, even at Lab, won't 'diagnose' dyslexia until 2nd unless it's very clearly severe.  Your best bet at this point if you feel like you think he's delayed or you'd like to get a sense of his developmental levels and capabilities is something private - like going to a Lindamood Bell type of place and doing tutoring. On the behavior stuff - sounds like there is something else going on.  Just want to also note there, b/w K and 1st - saw lots of changes in boys & behavior - including with different teachers' approaches and capabilities with it... (sometimes that can be enough difference).[/quote]
