25% of children in grades K-6 have difficulty with reading which is serious enough to impede learning. Amazing isn't it? The situation does not get better as students get older.

1)  Here are five symptoms (from a list of fifty) to look for: headaches, inaccurate letter/word recognition, a bright child who reads extremely slow, teary eyes, and difficulty staying on task.

In most cases these problems can be helped and sometimes eliminated with the help of a comprehensive visual examination. It is administered by a Behavioral Optometrist and he will give you the prescribed vision exercises to address the specific problems. 

Until the real reason is found these symptoms will cause stress for the child as well as yourself.
Negative effects are poor self-esteem, lack of confidence, poor education, and continued struggle in life.

2)  For your child's reading evaluation you want a successful reading specialist who uses the most accurate and up to date testing methods currently available and based on silent reading fluency and national standards. This will be a base line for future measurement of your child's progress. 

Students are required to take more standardized tests than ever before, and all tests require students to have strong silent reading fluency skills. They must be able to read to themselves quickly, efficiently, and with good comprehension if they are going to succeed. All too often silent reading fluency is not emphasized and, as you are probably aware, this is the goal.

3)  Find a reading professional who is also highly experienced in the most current Visual Efficiency Appraisals. You want a test which is based on scientific data, not subjective results (based only on the testers personal opinion). 

4) Scientific advancements in reading improvement are amazing. Once you know the real reason your child is experiencing difficulty, you want to know what can be done to address the real problem. You will want a professional who has the experience to get the results you want.  In other words, what are your choices?

5) You need to know how many grade levels in reading and vocabulary need to be completed, predicted time to reach these and the estimated cost.
