If my child scores poorly on a reading assessment does that mean my child is dyslexic?
No. The term "dyslexia" has become a catch-all term for any kind of reading trouble. If you look at the National Institutes of Health manual of all diagnosable diseases, dyslexia is described as a significant gap between your potential and your performance in reading.

Could my child be dyslexic?
Dear Let's Go Learn, I homeschool and have three children my boys (age 11 and 8) while learning differently picked up phonics and reading fairly well I feel, now I am trying to teach my 7 year old daughter to read. We started last year and there seemed to be a problem in her memory retention.

Can DORA diagnose dyslexia?
Dear Let's Go Learn, I am a homeschooling mom whose two boys have significant reading delays and I suspect from some reading about dyslexia that this is the problem, but I'm not sure. Will this assessment help me determine if my children are dyslexic? Will the results give me specific direction in reading instruction to help them? Thanks.
