[quote=Anonymous]I also have a dyslexic kid who was diagnosed in the 1st grade, so I'm biased toward early testing to catch those kids who need specialized teaching. Reversals alone don't mean a thing. Combined with reading difficulties they are a flag. Has she been in some sort of school for a while? The guidance is to get testing if your kid has been getting high quality reading instruction for a years (i.e. since pre K for a first grader) and they are not catching up. One other clue is if it bothers her. Does she know she reads less well than other kids? Does she have a hard time finding her page number in the math book? In first my kid was coming home from school weeping every day, and spent his day at school trying to hide how hard he was struggling. Dyslexia is usually a combo of high intellegence combined with some pretty major deficits, and it is very frustrating and confusing for the kid.[/quote]
