As early as first grade, dyslexic readers can have much lower reading scores and verbal IQs compared with typical readers, suggesting that earlier intervention is needed to help students from falling behind, according to study recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
The researchers — from Yale University and the University of California, Davis — found that the gap between dyslexic and typical readers, which often shows up in elementary school, persisted into adolescence.

A study claims to have found neuroanatomical markers (differences in cortical thickness) of dyslexia in pre-readers, that predict dyslexia status 5 years ahead.
This would be an extraordinary result, however as pointed out by Kraft et al. (2015), the claim is based on a comparison of only 10 control and 7 dyslexic children, which should give this study insufficient power to detect any decent-size difference.
