A study on academic problems of 380 dyslexic children studying in 5th to 7th standard revealed that, phonemic segmentation was highly and negatively correlated to risk quotient indicating lower scores on phonemic segmentation and spoonerisms will lead to higher risk of dyslexia. There was negative and significant relationship between two minute spelling and one minute writing risk quotient. Lower scores on two minute spelling lead to higher risk of dyslexia. Risk indices of semantic fluency and verbal fluency showed negative and significant relation indicating lower the scores higher risk of dyslexia. Results on parents’ awareness and knowledge on child’s dyslexic problem reveal that, 77 per cent were aware that there are some problems in child and hence the child is lagging in academics. About 14 per cent of parents knew since childhood, 13 per cent have known from past 3 years. About 23 parents reported they identified problem only after the assessment carried out by researcher.
