Hi, I hope someone can help. My daughter is now 8, and she has always been very bad at spelling, but when she read to me the other night something clicked and I think its more than just normal problems.

She mistakes b and d, and will write bab for dad.
She will read on instead of no and vice versa, same with of and for, and was and saw.
She will miss words out when reading to me.
She cannot spell at all, she will spell as it sounds, so we would be wee, and party would be partee etc.
She cannot read her work back to me after writing.

I would have assumed though a teacher would have picked up on it if she were dyslexic???

Apart from the reading and spelling, she is good at maths (better than her 9 yr old sister) and very very good at drawing.

Please help, as I would like her to get the help she needs at school if she is.
