As a parent it can be disheartening to watch your once
enthusiastic, smiling child become frustrated, angry or sometimes
depressed because they cannot do what seems to come naturally
to other children at school - read, write, spell and use numbers.
You know s/he is bright enough and you can think of no reason why there
should be a problem with your child's learning. So what might the problem
be? Could it be dyslexia? The following might help you decide whether
you should investigate further.

¨ Is fine orally but finds difficulty in learning to read, write and spell
¨ Has difficulty with rhyme, rhythm - shows very little awareness of sounds
and how they connect to letters
¨ Confuses common sequences - days of the week, months etc
¨ May be good at practical activities involving three dimensions - e.g.
lego building
¨ Has difficulty remembering sequences, names for common objects,
doing calculations in his/her head
¨ Seems to have a poor concentration span for activities involving literacy
and is often inattentive
¨ Teachers may comment that your child 'is often lazy' or 'doesn't try hard
enough"
¨ Uses avoidance tactics to delay, defer or simply not do written tasks
¨ Reading may lack expression and sound monotonic
¨ Loses the place, misses a line
¨ Misreads common words - 'was' for saw', 'tried' for 'tired'
¨ A slow reading rate can affect understanding. However, sometimes
children have a good understanding despite a slow reading rate.
¨ Has difficulty blending letters to sounds, and sounding out words
