Feeling a little alone. I have a 6 yr old son in 1st grade that I feel might have dyslexia or other reading/writing issues. He still trys to read words backwards, will try to sound out words, will write some letters backwards then will read them to you corectly ie write "dog" "b.o.g" but will read it to you dog. He gets frustrated if there are to many letters or words on a page, tells me it is to hard. He is below grade level on reading. My problem is that I would like to further test him, but my husband & his teacher would like to wait. I feel that the sooner we find out IF anything is wrong the sooner we can know how to help him properly. He is a smart child behaves will in class, it really is just the reading & writing. I have a niece that was diagnosed with dyslexia & now reading the signs I am wondering if my brother might be as well. sorry for such a strange post, but i'm feeling a little alone on how to help my son, when I seem to be the only one who is seeing the problems he is having. Thanks for letting me vent.
