Developmental Dyslexia is a learning disorder marked by persistent
difficulty in learning to read in children who possess otherwise normal intelligence, motivation, and educational opportunity.
Did your child have a speech delay? This is a common characteristic of children with dyslexia.
Other signs include:
- Letter reversal or mirror writing
- Difficulty generating rhyming words
- Lack of Phonological awareness that is counting syllables in words
- Difficulty segmenting words into sounds
- Difficulty blending sounds to make words
- Difficulty with word retrieval and naming problems
- Poor spelling
- Whole word guessing e.g child read the first two letters in “fork” and guesses it it “food”
Some children grow up without dealing with this problem and may have the following symptoms of dyslexia as adults:
- Poor memory skills
- Difficulty remembering what was read
- Forgetting directions
- Time management problems
- Difficulty in concentrating
- Difficulty understanding what was read
- Dependence on digital watches
