I am a special education teacher. I wanted to ask which assessment(s) you would recommend to diagnose dyslexia if I were to purchase just one or two assessments. Let's say that I already know that the student has an average IQ, so I don't need an aptitude test.

You may have seen a recent letter to PBS from “experienced senior scholars in the field of reading and literacy education” that took issue with an April 30, 2019 PBS special on dyslexia...

I read through all of the test descriptions trying to figure out why my son’s testing doesn’t reflect his struggles in reading. His CTOPP scores were average to above average despite displaying many signs of dyslexia and with a four-generation history of reading problems.

Can you please point me in the direction of where you received this recommendation? Is there evidence based research?

I wonder if you know: are there peer reviewed, scientifically controlled research articles demonstrating the efficacy of the Davis Method of treating dyslexia and of his Young Learner methods? As a classroom teacher, I don't like one-size-fits-all solutions and would like to be guided by evidence-based science in my choice of methods.

I am wondering if a child with a low IQ could have dyslexia? So much of what we've learned is that dyslexia is when kids with normal or high IQ scores struggle with reading and spelling. Our daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia, but others have told us she does not have it.

A “neuromyth” is described as a common misconception about brain function and research and are often related to learning and education. A study published in August 2017 by Macdonald, Germine, Anderson, Christodoulou, and McGrath looked into the belief of neuromyths among different levels of educational background, hoping to discover ways to better children’s education.
