There was a recent discussion of early signs of dyslexia; you may want to check some of the suggested resources to see if anything resonates. (I'll try to resist repeating that thread, but I'm always ready to talk more if that could be helpful to you
). Either way, it sounds possible that your DS might benefit from learning explicitly how to decode, if he jumped over that stage?
