How do I know if my daughter’s problems with reading are due to a developmental lag or if there’s a learning disability? Will the school (that just implemented RTI in the early grades) test her for dyslexia? She’s 7 years old.

Early intervention is so important. If a child is identified with a learning disability at a young age, the intervention can be implemented immediately therefore giving your child the skills they will need to succeed sooner rather than later. Research the warning signs and symptoms of dyslexia and look to see if your child shows any of these signs. At 7 years old - the warning signs of dyslexia are usually: issues with speech and language, letters and sounds not "clicking", poor phonemic awareness, relies heavily on memorizing and not decoding skills.
