[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. Dyslexia does seem unlikely given her phonological strengths. That said, strong phonological skills don’t magically get turned into reading skills unless the kid makes the connection between those sounds and the letter shapes! That’s phonics and eventually what is known as orthographic mapping, where words are recognized immediately without effort. How was her instruction in K and 1st grade? If it wasn’t aligned with “the science of reading” she may simply never have gotten what she needs. Happens to many kids, unfortunately. Regardless, if she is not reading at grade level now the intervention is going to be the same - go back to find the weakness (which thankfully is probably at phonics, not phonemic awareness) and start remediating there. A CALT can do that for her, and I’m sure other providers types could as well.[/quote]
