: I have a 13 year old boy who is measuring in with a 140 IQ.
  He is in 8th grade but is testing in with an 11th grade reading
  ability but he reads and works VERYYYYYYY slow.  He can not finish a
  timed test.  His MAT testing in 7th grade shows a 5th grade reading level
  (he couldnt finish the test)-the 11th grade reading level was determined by
  Sylvan learning Centers in their Diagnostic testing.  He is not Dislexic or
   anything that the eye doctor
  could determine. Is there a reading disability that could be present here?
