[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of 1st grade, my child was diagnosed with dyslexia and adhd as part of a full neuro psych evaluation. She scored in the single digit percentiles on tests of phonemic awareness. We immediately started once a week tutoring. At the beginning of 2nd grade she still was not reading. About a month into 2nd grade we started stimulant medications. A week later, she was reading chapter books. Now, in the beginning of 3rd grade, she tests above grade level for reading (combination decoding and comprehension). So does my child actually have dyslexia, or is it just ADHD, or just natural late reader? And does it matter -- now that she's reading so well, if it was actually dyslexia, are there still things we need to be concerned about?[/quote] I would have her tested agin with medication and see if things still show up. How fast does she read and does she make many mistakes when reading out loud?[/quote]
