[quote=Anonymous]IF your daughter has dyslexia, she isn't going to be able to "power through" or "work harder" or "listen better".  She needs specific instruction geared towards dyslexia.  So that isn't a high school or college student just working on reading like you might for a child who is behind in reading - it's working with someone who is trained in using Lindamood Bell, Orton Gillingham or Wilson - those are all evidence based that work well with dyslexia.    And believe me, her teacher doesn't have that training and doesn't have the time to devote.  You should probably have her working with the tutor 2 times/week (maybe even 3 times) to really get her moving.

BUT.  You need to test her to see if it is dyslexia.

I believe that if she was just a "slow reader" that your work with her would have fixed that and she'd not be guessing and doing all that other stuff.  Kids her age want to read, and it is upsetting to them when they can't do what the other kids in their age group can.  Makes them feel stupid, lazy, slow, etc. And she's not, she just has dyslexia (if she does)[/quote]
