DD's teacher has sugested dyslexia. Now what?

[LynetteScavo]

DD is in reception, and not 5 until July. I'd put all the other children's fabulous reading and writing down to their age (i.e. being older than DD)

The teachers have spent the past year raving about how wonderful, and intelligent DD is. Which, of course being her mother I would agree with, but he still can't read, and is still on ORT level 2.

Another child came in crying whilst I was talking to the teacher, so we didn't really finish the conversation...but what do I do next?
I'm pretty sure the school SEN won't think she is dyslexic, as she is DS2's class teacher, and if any of my children are dyslexic, it is DS2. She doesn't think he is dyslexic (he isn't particularly bright- I think his averageness masks the dyslexia, if that makes sense.)

Basically, what should I do now?

Sorry maizie I should make myself clear. I was in no way suggesting the OP marches into school demanding to know the teacher's credentials. However as a parent I would be asking myself if I thought the teacher had enough experience and knowledge to decide that a five year old child should be labelled "dyslexic". My own thoughts are labels shouldn't make a difference and that good teaching is good teaching that benefits all children.

I knew exactly what you meant, mrz.

So do I really . It just sounded as though mrz might be advocating marching off to school...Which really surprised me.

I've learnt to be more subtle maizie smile sweetly while asking politely
