Hi! I have a type of reading disability where I MUST say each word (out loud or in my head) verbally before I can understand what I'm reading. I have had spelling difficulties my whole life, though I am improving over time. Anyway, I learned that this is a form of dyslexia and that explains why I am a slow reader. I only learned that in my adulthood. It was never "diagnosed" in school. I know there are many different forms of dyslexia. Anyway, I am now wondering if my 7 year old (2nd grader) has the same form of dyslexia. She is having trouble learning to read even though she is very smart and is extremely good at other subjects.

I thought it would be helpful to have a name or information about my particular type of dyslexia before I attend a school meeting with the psychologist to discuss my daughter's difficulties.

Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give me!!
