I would be much obliged if you let me know the ideal age students are to be assessed and checked for dyslexia.
I would like to know at what age children are assessed for certain learning difficulties in your countries.
thanks lots

one of the usual signs for a dyslexic kid is the inversion on letters like d for b the problem is that this is a common mistake for kids until they are 8-9 yrs. so here we keep an eye to kids as soon a they are learning to read but the actual assessment is when they reach 9-10 unless we suspect of another condition |

Thanks a lot for your interest. I think that the earlier they are screened and assessed the better. It seems that the number of students with dyslexia is increasing and that is due of delayed assessment. Thanks a lot for your interest.
