[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spelling is often the canary in the coal mine for late diagnoses of dyslexia. Kids compensate for a long time but eventually catches up with them. This might be what you are seeing. You should ask school to assess him for learning disability. Or seek private assessment. Or find a tutor who can work him.[/quote] I agree with this and 15:43. I'm the mom of a college kid who has dyslexia. Thankfully, I figured out something was "off" when he was in 2nd grade. I had him tested and he had 5-6 years of year-round of in-person tutoring with an Orton Gillingham tutor. My kid was a well-above average reader because he could memorize the words he came across in K, 1, and early 2. But he couldn't sound anything out. He couldn't spell worth a darn. We found a tutor through Susan Barton's program. (The website is very 1990s, but you'll get a list of tutors for your area.) https://www.dys-add.com/ Worth every penny. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
