[quote=Anonymous]Read Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz - much better description of dyslexia and associated strengths/weaknesses. Also read “Stealth Dyslexia” by Eide. Dyslexics can be very bright and still struggle to read. They have deficits in rapid automatic naming with the symbol/sound relationship and sometimes also in segmenting sound. My DC has reading difficulties yet tested in neuropsych with an verbal reasoning IQ subscore over 130, but also a reading disorder by the time he got to 3rd grade (when reading expectations have increased). His reading disorder was not technically dyslexia but probably due to underlying ADHD Inattentive. His coding subscore on IQ was very low/discrepant. Several years of OG helped him. I wish we had done more OG and earlier. [/quote]
