How do I know if my child should be evaluated for dyslexia?
​
Answering the following questions may help you learn more.
-
​Does your child have persistent difficulties with reading, writing or spelling?
-
Is it hard for your child to sound out words phonetically, particularly unfamiliar words?​
-
When comparing your child to others of similar age or grade, do you feel your child's reading ability is at the same level with their peers?​
-
Does your child mix up similar words such as top/pot?​
-
Does your child skip or substitute words when reading aloud, or read a word correctly in one place on a page but miss the same word elsewhere on the page?​
-
Does your child add or omit letters when reading or writing?​
-
Does your child reverse letters when writing after most children of similar age have stopped doing so?​
-
Does your child confuse similar sounding words? (humanity for humidity)​
-
Does your child mispronounce words, or find it difficult to retrieve specific words?​
-
Does your child indicate they do not like to read, or that reading is difficult?​​​
If you answered YES to three or more of these questions, your child may benefit from a dyslexia evaluation. ​
