When Reading Feels Hard

Hope Starts

with the Right Evaluation

Serving Jacksonville families since 1926.

Dyslexia is a common learning difference that makes reading and spelling more difficult, but it has nothing to do with intelligence.

With early support and the right strategies, children with dyslexia can succeed in school and beyond.

You might notice:

  • Trouble sounding out words 🔤

  • Mixing up letters like b and d, or was and saw 🔁

  • Slow or choppy reading, even with familiar words 📖

  • Struggles with spelling or writing 📝

  • Avoiding reading or saying “I’m just not good at it” 😞

Why a Dyslexia Evaluation Matters

Without testing, it’s easy to mistake dyslexia for laziness or lack of effort.


A clear diagnosis can:

  • Help your child get school accommodations

  • Guide teachers and therapists with the right interventions

  • Boost your child’s confidence by naming the real issue

At Hope Haven, our evaluations look at:

  • Phonological processing

  • Reading fluency

  • Comprehension

  • Spelling and writing skills

We connect the dots — so your child doesn’t get lost in the system.

What You’ll Get from an Evaluation

  • A full learning profile, not just a label

  • Recommendations for school, home, and therapy

  • Clarity on what helps your child learn best
