Is My Child Dyslexic?<\/h2>\n

written by Dr. Liz Nissim-Matheis, posted on Psychology Today<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s March, and you\u2019ve noticed a few things about your child\u2019s reading and writing skills. At your last parent-teacher conference, your child\u2019s teacher recognizes that your child is struggling with reading and writing. What can be further confusing is that your child may have made progress but is still not reading or writing at grade level. Slowly, over the school year, you\u2019ve noticed that your child avoids reading or huffs and puffs when it\u2019s time to sit down and write a response, a short answer, or an essay.<\/p>\n

So now what? <\/em><\/p>\n

We can\u2019t ignore the elephant in the room. The COVID-19<\/a> pandemic created a gap in instruction for 1.5 years. Our children did not receive the face-to-face instruction that they needed. Many of the academic struggles that our children were experiencing went unnoticed because how can a teacher recognize reading and writing struggles when assignments are being handed in electronically. There isn\u2019t an observation of the entire child who may have been melting down behind the screen. A great deal of teacher observations and academic instruction were lost during that time.<\/p>\n

As our children progressed to the next grade and then the next, parents and teachers began to notice skills that were not at grade level in reading or writing. Our children began to show more behavioral signs, and the natural explanation was that our child was \u201cbehavioral\u201d without truly understanding or investigating the underlying roots of those behaviors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Click here to continue reading” color=”primary” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.psychologytoday.com%2Fintl%2Fblog%2Fspecial-matters%2F202403%2Fis-my-child-dyslexic”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
