[quote=Anonymous]Is she young? My 5 yo has delays (speech and motor and cognitive delay/ low-normal IQ) and he just scored 95 on the age-normed achievements testing. He is failing iready, getting 1s on his report cards, but the neuropsych did not find dyslexia, at least at this time. She said part of the reason he is doing so poorly is that he is a summer bday (so even kids with similar age-normed scores will be more advanced) and in a high achieving district, where most of the kids will be to the right side of the bell curve.

If your dc is able to read even non-CVC, non-sight words, it sounds like she is not exhibiting a reading delay. Maybe try to read some Bob books together to see if she has the letter sounds and basic phonics down.

It might be worthwhile to request a neuropsych eva given the profile you describe.  If you want to go through your insurance, you can expect a 6+ month wait list, so you may as well get that ball rolling now. They will include achievements testing.[/quote]
