My ds now 7 scored 99 VCI and has been behind grade level in reading until the last few months and is Currently just a little ahead. He canfinally decode reliably (except small words he hurries over) so now we are working on punctuation like periods and commas. In my layperson's view I say he has "dyslexic tendencies". I really wonder how dyslexia may be mediated by high verbal abilities.
