I have a nine year old son who has struggled with school since the first grade. I have noticed that he can spend an eternity on spelling and vocabulary words every week and know them to make a good grade on his test but when he takes the test he makes a 70 or lower. He can spell them out loud but he can't spell them correct on paper. When he reads he has a hard time keeping his place and sometimes skips words and whole sentences. He spells words like he hears them instead of understaning silent letter rules. He fails most of his test even when a lot of time was devoted in study and he knew the material before the test. Writing papers and book reports take a long time and he has to have help writing anything that has more than one sentence. When the teacher is doing an exercise on the board he has a hard time keeping up. I want to know should he be tested for dyslexia?
