Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that affects reading, writing, and spelling. It doesn’t reflect intelligence or effort, but it can make traditional learning challenging. With the right support, children with dyslexia can improve their literacy skills and thrive academically.

Signs of Dyslexia

Recognising the early signs of dyslexia is key to providing the right intervention. Look for the following:

In Preschool:

• Difficulty learning the alphabet
• Trouble recognising rhyming words
• Delayed speech or mixing up sounds in words
• Difficulty with fine motor skills (like holding a pencil)

In School-aged Children:

• Slow or inaccurate reading
• Problems spelling even common words
• Trouble blending sounds together
• Avoiding reading aloud or frustration with reading tasks
• Difficulty following sequences or directions

Additional Signs:

• Poor handwriting (also known as dysgraphia)
• Trouble with phonics and connecting sounds to letters
• Difficulty remembering facts or learning new vocabulary

Where to Get Help

If you suspect your child may have dyslexia, it’s important to seek advice from professionals. You can talk to your child’s teacher, a school counsellor, or a psychologist for an evaluation. Early intervention is key, and the right resources can make a big difference.
