Multiple patterns associated with dyslexia were observed — particularly in phonemic awareness, complex vowel decoding, and rapid letter naming. Foundational letter and consonant knowledge is strong; the gaps cluster around the skills most directly linked to early reading difficulty.
Mia's performance across letter knowledge, vowel patterns, and word decoding. Strong on letter naming and consonant sounds — clear gaps on vowel patterns and complex spellings.
The ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. One of the strongest research-backed predictors of reading difficulty. Mia shows clear weakness here — particularly on sound segmentation and deletion tasks.
Why this matters: Weak phonemic awareness — particularly segmentation and deletion — is the single strongest early-grade signal of dyslexia in the research literature. This is the area most likely to warrant specialist evaluation.
How quickly Mia can name a chart of familiar letters. Slow naming speed — even with high accuracy — is a documented dyslexia indicator known as the "double deficit" pattern when paired with phonemic awareness weakness.
Reading two short grade-appropriate passages aloud. Scored as words-correct-per-minute (WCPM) and accuracy, using published Hasbrouck & Tindal benchmarks.
Reading was hesitant, with frequent letter-by-letter sounding-out on multisyllabic words. Common substitutions included reading "horse" as "house" and "play" as "pay" — patterns consistent with vowel and digraph weakness identified above.
Based on the patterns above, here is what we suggest — in order of priority. Save or print this report and bring it to the relevant professional.
The above is a sample. Take the actual evaluation at home and receive a detailed report just like this one — covering phonics, phonemic awareness, rapid naming, and reading fluency.
Take the evaluation · $79 one-timeMultiple patterns consistent with adult dyslexia were observed — particularly in phonemic awareness, irregular-spelling decoding, and reading fluency. Ben's letter and high-frequency word knowledge is at the expected adult ceiling; the gaps cluster around the precision and speed measures most diagnostic of compensated adult dyslexia.
Ben's accuracy across consonant blends, digraphs, and irregular spelling patterns. The adult evaluation skips early-grade letter sections (ceiling-effect) and starts at decoding level. Performance is strong on regular patterns but drops sharply on irregular and low-frequency spellings — a signature compensated-dyslexia pattern.
The ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual phonemes in spoken words. The most diagnostically powerful adult dyslexia measure — adult-level stimuli use multisyllabic words and consonant clusters to push past the compensation strategies most adults have developed. Ben shows clear weakness on segmentation and cluster-deletion tasks.
Why this matters: Adults who developed compensation strategies often score normally on most reading measures but show persistent weakness on phoneme manipulation under time pressure. Cluster deletion is the single most discriminating adult-dyslexia task — well-validated for adults across the literature.
How quickly Ben can name a chart of familiar digits. Slow rapid naming in adults — even with full accuracy — is a documented dyslexia indicator known as the "double deficit" pattern when paired with phonemic awareness weakness.
Reading two adult-level passages aloud. Scored as words-correct-per-minute (WCPM) and accuracy, against adult fluency norms.
Reading was deliberate, with noticeable slowdown on multisyllabic and irregularly-spelled words. Common substitutions included reading "cartographers" as "cartographs" and "contentious" as "continuous" — patterns consistent with the irregular-spelling and PA weaknesses identified above.
