Dyslexia Tidbit
Signs of Dyslexia - Preschool
"Many people know that dyslexia is a challenge with reading. But it’s more than that. Dyslexia is a challenge with language. That can make it hard to spot the signs. For instance, trouble with rhyming can be a sign of trouble with reading.
Dyslexia can also cause trouble with spelling, speaking, and writing. So signs can show up in a few areas, not just in reading.
People with dyslexia don’t all struggle in the same way. Some have a hard time with early reading skills like sounding out words (decoding). Some read words and sentences fine, but they have trouble understanding what they read.
Dyslexia can also look different as kids get older. Learn common signs of dyslexia at different ages and how to help."
Preschool signs of dyslexia
-
Mispronouncing words, like saying beddy tear instead of teddy bear
-
Struggling to name familiar objects and using general words like thing and stuff instead
-
Having a hard time learning nursery rhymes or song lyrics that rhyme
-
Having trouble remembering sequences, like singing the letters of the alphabet
-
Telling stories that are hard to follow or having trouble talking about an event in a logical order
-
Having difficulty remembering and following directions with multiple steps
