DS7 definitely has vision tracking problems and sees the word order garbled and will read it as such. This is fairly frequent and regular (more than one word a sentence.) It also shows up in garbled interpretation when exact words are important like instructions on a test or sometimes a math problem. Props like his finger or a playing card can greatly reduce it.
In researching this due to potential levelling concerns, references I saw made a distinction that "word perfect" reading became a higher scoring component in 3rd grade for setting reading levels than in lower grades.
p.s. editing as Irena posted before I submitted. We are trying out some tutoring with the word skipping and writing problems to see where that goes.
