My son is a sophomore in High School. He has close to a 4.0, was recommended for gifted and talented grades 2-8, scored very high in the pre-SAT tests. We found out only this year that he has enormous trouble reading out loud. It's not because he doesn't want to. The teacher who told us said that he actually volunteers. We don't think he has Dyslexia because he would be able to read, comprehend and score so high on tests. He's never complained about not being able to read, but when we started having him read to us out loud, it's painful. Has anyone ever heard of this condition and is it related to Dyslexia in some weird form?
Thanks, John
