[quote=Anonymous]You say he is below grade level in reading and writing. That means that there are skills other kids his age have that he doesn't. Ask your kid's teacher what those skills are. How are they measuring "grade level"? MAP? Fountas & Pinnell benchmarking? something else? What was it that you told the dyslexia tutor your kid could do? I have encountered dyslexic kids as late as junior year of high school. Smart kids can mask well. I've also seen other smart kids with ADHD Inattentive mask well - they are not disruptive, often rely on outside knowledge or pictures to compensate for their reading weaknesses but as books get longer they have more difficulty. If you think your kid has average intelligence but he is below grade level, you should absolutely get an assessment soon. [/quote]
