[quote=Anonymous]It’s not that it HAS to be before 3rd grade, but that the research shows that if it is, there is a good chance of staying at grade level. If it happens later the chance of getting to and staying at grade level falls. The reasons are complex, but probably the main issue is volume of reading. The more you read, the better you read. The amount that dyslexic students read is lower than non-dyslexic students, so they keep falling behind. If nothing else, do lots and lots of audiobooks! That will help with vocabulary and content knowledge, which also lags in dyslexic kids because they read less. Insurance is also complex. Depending on your provider they may pay something for some types of remediation, but it is very unlikely. In general dyslexia remediation is considered an academic rather than a health service. However, a few plans do cover some dyslexia therapy in certain cases.[/quote]
