Dyslexia Assessment

Notice: If you have received this test from a friend or downloaded it from anyplace other than
Learning Success you can make sure you have the latest and most up to date copy by downloading it
from http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-test

Long ago we realized there was a need for a dyslexia test that parents could easily do at home with
their child. An informed parent makes better decisions for their child. With that in mind we created
this dyslexia assessment for you. It is free and you may freely share it by giving it to friends, offering
it for download on your website, or in any manner you like. However we do ask that you do not alter
the document in anyway.

If you would like more information on how to overcome dyslexia you can get it by entering your name
and email address at the following link http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-help

Dyslexia can affect a person’s life in drastic and unpredictable ways. It’s not just the reading skills
but also self esteem issues and more. Many people have gone their entire lives not knowing they had
dyslexia. Not living up to their potential.
If your child has been suffering due to dyslexia or a similar learning disability it is important to
remember that not knowing what was going on is not your fault. Most public schools and many
specialists are ill equipped to inform people about the condition, or what to do about it. So parents
often don’t know what to do. We’re here to help you change that.
By downloading and printing out this assessment you have taken the first step towards a solution.
Congratulations! This just may be the information you need to make a dramatic change for the better
in your child’s life. So let’s get going. Print this out right now. Do the exercises with your child. It is
the first step in improving your child’s future.

What Next?
You may have noticed that some of the exercises were extremely easy for your child. Others may have
been very difficult. If you had tried to predict which was which before the test you probably wouldn’t
have gotten it right.
That’s normal. Not even an expert could predict it.
That’s because dyslexia is a blanket term. It simply means that there are smaller components of
learning that are weak. The combination of weak components add up to poor reading skills. But no
two dyslexics are alike. That’s why you start with this test. This starts to help you understand which
fundamental learning skills need work. As you do our complete course you will continue to build a
better understanding of where the core problems are. And you’ll be able to fix them.
Start by entering your name and email address on this page
http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-help and we will send you
a video that will help you understand what to do next.
We’ll see you in that video. Together we’ll get started on the solution.
And remember since dyslexia affects so many things in a person’s life,
fixing it makes major positive changes. You’ll see changes not only in
reading skills. You’ll quite possibly see behaviour changes, changes in
your home life, and more. Most parents tell us what a relief it is to finally
know they are helping their child achieve learning success. We think you
will too.
We’ll see you in the video
http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-help
P.S. Would you like to help your child overcome dyslexia right now?
We’ve put together an easy step by step system for that. Not only does it
build up these skills but it also builds confidence and sets your child on
Liz Weaver
the path to learning success. These are very simple exercises your child
can do at home. Saving you time and money. After building these skills
homework will be easier, take less time, and your child may even enjoy it. You can make reading easy!

Dyslexia test

  • 1. LEARNING SUCCESS Dyslexia Assessment Notice: If you have received this test from a friend or downloaded it from anyplace other than Learning Success you can make sure you have the latest and most up to date copy by downloading it from http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-test Long ago we realized there was a need for a dyslexia test that parents could easily do at home with their child. An informed parent makes better decisions for their child. With that in mind we created this dyslexia assessment for you. It is free and you may freely share it by giving it to friends, offering it for download on your website, or in any manner you like. However we do ask that you do not alter the document in anyway. If you would like more information on how to overcome dyslexia you can get it by entering your name and email address at the following link http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-help Dyslexia can affect a person’s life in drastic and unpredictable ways. It’s not just the reading skills but also self esteem issues and more. Many people have gone their entire lives not knowing they had dyslexia. Not living up to their potential. If your child has been suffering due to dyslexia or a similar learning disability it is important to remember that not knowing what was going on is not your fault. Most public schools and many specialists are ill equipped to inform people about the condition, or what to do about it. So parents often don’t know what to do. We’re here to help you change that. By downloading and printing out this assessment you have taken the first step towards a solution. Congratulations! This just may be the information you need to make a dramatic change for the better in your child’s life. So let’s get going. Print this out right now. Do the exercises with your child. It is the first step in improving your child’s future. © 2014 Learning Success www.learningsuccessblog.com 1

  • 26. What Next? You may have noticed that some of the exercises were extremely easy for your child. Others may have been very difficult. If you had tried to predict which was which before the test you probably wouldn’t have gotten it right. That’s normal. Not even an expert could predict it. That’s because dyslexia is a blanket term. It simply means that there are smaller components of learning that are weak. The combination of weak components add up to poor reading skills. But no two dyslexics are alike. That’s why you start with this test. This starts to help you understand which fundamental learning skills need work. As you do our complete course you will continue to build a better understanding of where the core problems are. And you’ll be able to fix them. Start by entering your name and email address on this page http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-help and we will send you a video that will help you understand what to do next. We’ll see you in that video. Together we’ll get started on the solution. And remember since dyslexia affects so many things in a person’s life, fixing it makes major positive changes. You’ll see changes not only in reading skills. You’ll quite possibly see behaviour changes, changes in your home life, and more. Most parents tell us what a relief it is to finally know they are helping their child achieve learning success. We think you will too. We’ll see you in the video http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-help P.S. Would you like to help your child overcome dyslexia right now? We’ve put together an easy step by step system for that. Not only does it build up these skills but it also builds confidence and sets your child on Liz Weaver the path to learning success. These are very simple exercises your child can do at home. Saving you time and money. After building these skills homework will be easier, take less time, and your child may even enjoy it. You can make reading easy! To get started simply click on this link. http://www.learningsuccessblog.com/dyslexia-system © 2014 Learning Success www.learningsuccessblog.com 26
