Interesting... Well, the WJ-III was the school's suggestion, and I think even if he doesn't score DYS levels it will be useful information for the schoolm and for us. But of course i'm still curious. Do you know if a 5yo would be given enough portions to make up the Broad Reading component that might qualify for DYS? (we have a verbal kid).
