[quote=Anonymous]Op, I have one child with mild dyslexia at a mainstream private school. DC was not reading well at the end of K, and when I would read at home with them they could sound out a word, but then ok the next page they would sound it out again like they had never seen it before. I didn’t know what to make of this, but it felt like somehow my DC was just not transitioning to read like all of their classmates were.

In first grade DC learned to read (amazing and patient teacher) but it was still labored, and their writing was very basic. I decided to have DC tested for dyslexia because I felt like something was not right - the learning specialist at our school did not recommend testing, but I felt certain something was off. We put DC on a waitlist at Mindwell and they got tested several months later.

DC does have mild dyslexia and private OG tutoring has made a huge difference in their reading and writing skills.

If you think something is wrong, at least get your child screened for dyslexia, or do all the testing if you can afford itz[/quote]
