Reading issues - Advice please

DS3 in 6.3 (nearly) - so one of the oldest in year 1. He has never taken to reading and it has become a daily battle with him still sounding out every letter of every word.

He does have some speech delay which may be impacting on his reading (He has a private SALT going in to school and a TA who works on exercises with him a couple of times a week - The SALT was happy to discharge him before the summer holidays, but we are carrying on for now with extra phonic work).

I am not sure if I should be concerned - DS1 has mild dyslexia, but was reading at the same level as DS3 at the end of nursery and DS2 has moderate dyslexia and is a whole other story!

School (small private prep) haven't been all that great identifying issues and we have parents evening coming up soon - Any advice on what questions to ask and how concerned we should be would be very welcome.

Thank you.
