 I would like to say that the children who speak nonstandard dialects of English may be greater risk of reading and spelling difficulties. But I don’t say that this is a symptom of dyslexia.

With regard to the reading instruction in particular, the risk for confusion is considerable. For example, if the teacher is pointing out the letter-sound correspondences within a word that is pronounced quite differently in the child's dialect than in the teacher's, the lesson could confuse more than enlighten.
