[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apologies yes you are correct one and the same and I was writing quickly on my cell phone! Thank you all for your suggestions and comments.  Definitely would like to find a tutor who could work on writing process since she was one of the grades adversely affected by Covid shut down and did not ever receive great instruction afterward. Regarding dyslexia instruction. She is receiving pull out for this however I guess I thought the teacher would work on both reading skill and writing skill since  her diagnosis was “mild” dyslexia.  Thanks again![/quote]

It's a lot to take in at first. I agree with other PPs. Dyslexia and dysgraphia are not the same. Dysgraphia presents in different ways for each person. The key to maximizing time and money is how it presents in your child and matching the appropriate strategies to the need. Based on what you've shared, you'll likely need more than 1 tutor -- one for reading and the other for writing. You may get lucky and find one person who can do both, but not always. You mentioned your child being pulled out, if you don't have support outside of school, you may want to explore that.

Even with mild dyslexia, where is support needed? Is it decoding, fluency, or comprehension? Or all.

There are lots of resources to help figure this out. But one thing I know is that you have to be well-versed so that when you approach schools/tutors for help, you are as specific as possible about the needs. [/quote]
