His low verbal skills are reflected in his reading. He is reading slightly above his age level but but it is based solely on sight words - he cannot sound out words and is at 7th percentile for phonological awareness.
Why was the school psych testing him? Did he recommend any further testing?
I would be concerned that he may have some type of reading disability. Low phonemic awareness is considered one of the red flags for dyslexia. I would try to get the school to do more assessments to determine the source of his reading challenges. You may want to check out the international dyslexia website for more info.
