Hyperlexic kids: what problems do you see and how to address?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have a hyperlexic child and discovered that there are issues with

reading comprehension and academic problems (or any other related problem)?

What did/do you do to address these issues?

My son is 4 1/2 and is hyperlexic. Although he can read at the level of lower

elementary school kids, comprehension is a problem.

I heard from some people that hyperlexic kids may start to have academic

problems (which then affects other areas, such as self esteem, start to

dislike/hate school, etc) around the 3rd or 4th grade and it's scaring me.

Anyways, I want to avoid or minimize these potential problems and am asking for

your insight and experience on what you did to address the problems.

Thank you,
