FollowThe Tell Tale Signs of Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a condition where children have troubles with reading. It is said that about 20% of the people in the United States are dyslexic. If this condition does not get diagnosed early on it can lead to frustration and self-doubt down the road. Learning how to recognize the signs will help you to learn how to find the proper learning resources. Here are the signs of Dylexia that you should look out for in your child.
Trouble with Speech– Kids will occasionally swap aminal for animal. However, if your child has consistent troubles with talking, even after repeated practice, this could signal a problem.
Trouble with Phonetics– One of the most common signs of dyslexia is children having problems associating words with the particular sounds they make and phonemic problems.
Organizational Skills– Kids with dyslexia will many times jumble words and letters together. This makes it harder for kids to write and read.
Trouble with Time Concepts– In dyslexic children, time concepts are expressed in unusual ways. For instance, if your child is say six years old but they always refer to things that happened in the past, this is a problem. They may say things like “when I was five” but the event only happened last week.
Syllable Reversal– Kids with dyslexia may reverse syllables and letter sounds within the same word. Parents may think their children are making up cute words but this may actually be a sign of dyslexia. For instance, they may use flutterbye for butterfly or bamhurger for hamburger.
Troubles with Memorizing– One sign of dyslexia in children is that they have problems learning things like their phone number and address. They may experience problems at first but signs of a problem are when they still have problems even after repeated practice.
