Dyslexia Signs & Symptoms
Dyslexia can differ widely among children and may evolve as your child grows and learns. Early signs in preschool-aged children may involve difficulties with learning the alphabet, challenges with rhyming, and mixing up the order of numbers and letters.
As children age, they might grapple with understanding written passages, spelling words correctly, and expressing their thoughts in writing.
If your child meets any of the statements below, we recommend you screen them for dyslexia. The more statements that fit your child, the more critical it is that your child gets screened.

- Difficulty reading single words not surrounded by other words
- Reading at a lower academic level than the standard for their age
