Just wanted to gage people opinions. I have an almost 6 year old who is yellow/blue on the reading scheme.
He often sees words written the wrong way, often starts to say a word starting the word with the second or last letter of the word, gets letters wrong way round and recently has started to get numbers back to front too.
On reading a book he won't remember a word that is repeated 5 or more times and will continue to spell it out. even for character names. The reception teacher asked if he was tested but then went on to say that his ability in all other areas combined does not to her mind suggest dyslexia and therefore will not refer him to be tested. I assumed she wouldn't be able to tick enough boxes.
I find his learning slow and sometimes he just doesn't 'get it'. His class placement is middle, possibly 12 out of 30. But he hasn't progressed from Easter last year and children are over taking him.
If it was your child would you get them tested privately?
