Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
The few signs of dyslexia are
- he can not associate letters with the sounds
- cannot recognize phonetic cues.
- verbal scores are better than the written scores.
I would suggest you consult a developmental paediatrician for the complete assessment.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
