[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My concerns are that [b]he reads but skips, inserts or changes the words he's reading so it's something like what's on the page but not exactly. [/b] I suspect there's a quite a bit of [b]guessing and reliance on pictures and context[/b] going on, as well as memory.  At home he doesn't want to read new books, just books he's already read, and he has a scary-accurate memory for anything (he could easily recite sentences from a book he's read before from memory).  His [b]resistance to reading[/b] is also concerning -- it's a fight everytime to get him to read anything.  His teachers assign only one reading assignment a day, which takes him like 5 minutes and is easy, but he never wants to read anything else.  [b]He is happy for me to read to him for an hour, but resists reading to me (not even every other page or parts) and never reads silently to himself.[/b][/quote]
The bolded described my dyslexic child before diagnosis and a 2-year, 3x/week Orton Gillingham-method remediation program.  DC now reads for school and pleasure.  I agree that balanced literacy programs can be the culprit in some circumstances.  A good neuropsychologist should be able to tease that out.  [/quote]
