Understanding High Scores (39-52)

Your score is {totalScore143}, which falls in the high range (39-52).

Score Breakdown

0–38: Low prevalence of dyslexia traits, suggesting no or occasional challenges with word recognition, spelling, or reading fluency

39-52: High prevalence of dyslexia traits, indicating a significant prevalence of challenges related to reading, decoding, spelling, and writing.

Your Score Suggests:

A high number of dyslexia-related traits that may impact reading fluency, spelling, and written expression.

Difficulty with word recognition, decoding, and reading comprehension.

Tendency toward frequent spelling errors, word reversals, or transposing letters and words, which can affect daily tasks and work performance.

When to Explore Dyslexia Clinically

Scores in the high range may suggest the need for further exploration of how dyslexic traits impact reading and learning.

Dyslexia traits may require support when they are accompanied by:

Persistent struggles with reading, even with adequate instruction and practice.

Frequent difficulty spelling words correctly, with reversals or transpositions.

Challenges with organizing written thoughts, leading to problems with writing tasks or assignments.

The Overlap with Other Conditions

Dyslexia frequently co-occurs with conditions like:

Score Breakdown

0–38: Low prevalence of dyslexia traits, suggesting no or occasional challenges with word recognition, spelling, or reading fluency

When Low to Mild Traits Are a Strength

The ability to read and write at a level that meets most everyday demands.

Reading fluency and comprehension that are generally within typical ranges for your age group.

A minimal need for accommodations or support in reading and writing tasks.

The Overlap with Other Conditions

While low scores generally indicate minimal dyslexia traits, it’s worth considering whether any of the following are present:

Occasional struggles with reading comprehension or spelling, especially with unfamiliar or longer words.

Stress or anxiety that may contribute to temporary difficulties with reading or writing tasks.

The possibility of other factors, such as mild attention-related issues or slow processing speed, that may affect reading performance.
