This might be one for teachers or any parents/carers been in the same situation?
DS 5.9 now in year 1. Scored 0.6 on DEST told he shows signs of mild dyslexia. (spacial memory and manual dexterity) December of year 1 told acheiving 'some' of level 1C but not there yet and far off secure. Asked for early interevention but teacher declined due to his age and gender.
Fairly able reader (R/W inc orange) but will often read 'he' instead of 'we', 'was/saw' 'b&d' confused and fail not to recognise a word on the next page he has just worked out. Writing very slow and although he can read words such as what he cannot spell them from memory and still sounds out 2 letter words when writing them.
Am waiting for his school report with his levels at the end of June.
Any advice on which level I should expect him to acheive (I'm an LSA so understand them) and what level should I be asking (demanding) he receive help at?
And what would the DEST test score indicate to any teachers?
Any advice or comments would be appreciated as I just want to help him where and if I can.
Thanks MNers.
