My DS has massive problems with spelling, not keen on writing and HATES reading. His homework can make him quite aggressive, I believe through frustration.
At parents evening a couple of years ago, the school claimed to have tested him for dyslexia (should they have even done so without our consent?) but as he can spell phonetically his problem is "laziness" and "lack of concentration". They put him in an "anger management" group instead.
I have no experience of dyslexia (though believe DH to be undiagnosed also) so don't know what steps I should take. He goes to secondary school next year and I don't want him to be held back.
