What are the signs of dyslexia?

As a child ages, dyslexia signs may include:

• Difficulty spelling even simple words.
• Problems identifying letters similar to each other, such as “d” and “b” or “p” and “q.”
• Reluctance to read aloud in class.
• Trouble sounding out new words.
• Associating sounds with letters.
• Trouble learning how sounds go together.
• Mixing up the position of sounds in a word.

Having one of these signs does not mean that a person has dyslexia, but if they are having trouble learning the basic skills for reading, then they should be tested to see if they need specific help.
