Bright Kid Called Lazy? Could It Be Dyslexia?

Your bright child is being called lazy. Could it be dyslexia? In episode three of The Homework Table, Laura and Brian explain why “lazy” describes a stall, not a cause, and how to turn a judgment into a question the school has to answer. They cover the three questions to ask, why reading trouble in bright kids gets missed, a week of notes, how to request a free evaluation in writing in the US, and what a screener can and can’t do (a starting point, not a diagnosis). General information, not legal advice.
