[quote=Anonymous] I have two children with dyslexia in FCPS, and their profiles are very different. Oldest child: His biggest sign was struggling with reading, consistently testing just below the 50th percentile. He scored 145 on the COGAT in second grade, and we noticed a clear gap between his cognitive ability and reading skills. The school wouldn’t test him (not “low enough”), so we pursued outside testing, and he was diagnosed as 2E, with mild dyslexia. Youngest: He showed all the classic signs—late talking, difficulty rhyming, couldn’t recognize letters in his name, and didn’t learn all the letters until late first grade. The school tested him in first grade, started reading intervention, and outside testing confirmed moderate dyslexia. Dyslexia can manifest very differently since it’s a spectrum—each child can have unique strengths and challenges.[/quote]
