[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rising third grader who is a struggling reader (reading at beginning 2nd grade level, so almost a full year behind) and has a dyslexic grandparent which I just found out about. With this new knowledge, I am wondering if the school saying "oh, it's okay, we'll just keep working hard" is all wrong and we need to get her tested ASAP. What do we do? I don't trust the school, they've told us all along that everything was fine, she's just a little behind. She does have a tutor she meets with weekly, which has helped a lot but I imagine a diagnosis would get her more help in school, but I've read that FCPS will not diagnose dyslexia so we need to go private. I'm very confused and could use your guidance! [/quote] If you have reason to be concerned, do private testing. Get a report that includes specifics of what supports are needed.[/quote]
