[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why our FCPS school seems so surprised when a child is diagnosed with dyslexia.  Our DC has a weakness in visual memory; that is, it is difficult for DC to remember the spellings of words, but DC can read.  In speaking with moms of other kids in DC's second grade class, at least two other kids have the same issue.  In each case the teacher has told us that the kids need to work on spelling.  But with our DC's recent diagnosis of dyslexia, I'm wondering how many other kids are out there with similar symptoms and don't get recognition from the school for their weakness.  DC's teacher was surprised DC was diagnosed with dyslexia, as DC can read, albeit slowly.  Witht the diagnosis, there seems to be a shift from a view that this child is lazy/dim, to this is a bright child with an LD.  I am saddened to think of how many kids have gone through school with undiagnosed dyslexia, thinking that they are dim, and their school experience reinforcing that view.[/quote]
