[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry to be dense, OP, but by encoding do you mean spelling and by decoding sounding out words to read? So are you asking about a reading issue? Since I am not familiar with the terminology used for speech issues (as opposed to reading issues) I wanted to be sure I wasn’t misunderstanding.[/quote]

I think the deviation we're seeing is between speech production and writing/spelling (which are both weak), and reading and language comprehension which (are relatively strong).

Are you talking about a difference between expressive and receptive language, both written and spoken?  Encoding and decoding refer specifically to spelling and word recognition, they have nothing to do with comprehension or spoken language.[/quote]

I’m the first PP, and this is my question too before we can offer OP any help.

I assume you have a kid with dyslexia (or specific learning disorder in reading) and their skills are uneven. Is that right?[/quote]
