Learn the Signs
Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that primarily affects reading, spelling, and written language skills. While every child is unique, some common signs may include:
-
Difficulty learning letter names and sounds
-
Trouble rhyming or identifying beginning sounds in words
-
Challenges blending sounds to read words
-
Frequent spelling errors
-
Slow or inaccurate reading
-
Difficulty remembering sight words
-
Avoiding reading or becoming frustrated with reading tasks
Having one or more of these characteristics does not necessarily mean a child has dyslexia, but they may indicate a need for additional support or screening.
