So frustrating
I’m am listening to this podcast as the parent of a “stealth” dyslexic son who cannot encode or decode words and can read because he has sight memorized every word he knows. We pulled him from our neighborhood public school after over a year of them ignoring the problem and got him evaluated and paid for help.

No learning to encode and decode- only informed guessing based on context. Bizarre.
