My son is 11 although he has a reading age of 16 years and 3 months, he has problems with some areas of math, mainly problem solving, he also has problems with his written english, spelling test are fine because he learns them of by heart but he forgets them when he is writing stories etc. We live in Ireland so he has to learn Irish which he struggles with, but he doesn't have a problem with languages as we lived in france for 2 years and he is near fluent.

His teacher recomemded that we ge him assessed which we did, and they believe that he may be borderline dyslexic. But not enough to give him extra help. Im really confused because although i know he has problems with some areas of his education, id always put it down to the fact that he spent 2 years in france just learning french so other parts of his education suffered. So i guess the question is, is it possible to be dyslexic with such a high reading ability and verbal vocabulary. I would also love for someone to advise me on ways to help him with his written english.
