At my request dd12 has recently had a dyslexia screening. She tells me it came out as low risk of dyslexia because her reading age is high (15+). However her spelling age is only 8, and she often reverses pairs of letters eg hte instead of the, and misspells common words eg won for one.
School haven’t communicated with me about it since the test on the 3rd, though I’ve emailed 3 times.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or have any suggestions about how to support? When I’ve spoken to them previously school seemed to think it wasn’t a problem as her grades are excellent anyway, but I can’t help thinking they’re letting her down if they’d give support for this were her grades lower.
