The intention here is that diagnosing people earlier will help dyslexic children learn different strategies for reading and that will help them read more, which seems to be supported by research.
My point is that dyslexia rate is much lower than 15-20% (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8183124/) and different strategies for dyslexic people might not be a) suitable and b) necessary for vast majority of misdiagnosed kids.
They are also very costly.
I’m all for grading kids skills, but I don’t see how with the current misdiagnosis trend this will end well.
If you have hope that yes, it will be better that way, let’s try it. I just don’t trust the quality solution (like Structured Literacy or OG) wil be deliverwd.
