How early can u tell if your child has dyslexia?

Answer 1

Both my daughters and I have dyslexia. Sure is fun when we try to do something with numbers.

Have the child read aloud to you. Easy stuff. If the words come out backwards ... was=saw

if the child can write, make a column of 2 and 3 digit numbers and ask the child to copy the numbers , or even read the numbers aloud to you.

10 becomes 01
56 becomes 65
969 becomes 996

well, you get the idea ...

Signs and symptoms
Dyslexia can be difficult to recognize before your child enters school, but some early clues may indicate a problem. If your young child begins talking late, adds new words slowly and has difficulty rhyming, he or she may be at increased risk of dyslexia.

Once your child is in school, signs and symptoms of dyslexia may become more apparent, including:

The inability to recognize words and letters on a printed page
A reading ability level well below the expected level for the age of your child
Children with dyslexia commonly have problems processing and understanding what they hear. They may have difficulty comprehending rapid instructions, following more than one command at a time or remembering the sequence of things. Reversals of letters (b for d) and a reversal of words (saw for was) are typical among children who have dyslexia. Reversals are common for children age 6 and younger who don't have dyslexia. But with dyslexia, the reversals persist.

Children with dyslexia may also try to read from right to left, may fail to see (and occasionally to hear) similarities and differences in letters and words, may not recognize the spacing that organizes letters into separate words, and may be unable to sound out the

Answer 3

as soon as the reach the average reading and writing age. if they are not performing up to par then they should be tested for dyslexia.

Answer 4

well its hard to get it comfirmed until they reach reading age but one of the signs we saw with my son was that when he was young and I was teaching him things likeshapes and the words associated with them he memorized symbols instead of the letters themselves example i used crayons to teach him his colors the name of the color is on the crayon he would look at the word and memorize the symbols for the letters instead of realizing that is a letter because it just didn't translate for example the letter "Y" he saw as one short diagnal line and one long diagnal line so the color must be yellow.....when your working with your child pay attention to things like that my son did numbers the same way

Answer 5

If they are having trouble reading and nothing seems to be working (individual tutoring, specialized instruction, nothing), then you should get them tested. It'll be for their own good to get more help.

Answer 6

if instead of "ga ga goo goo" they say "oog oog ag ag"

or, if instead of "waaaah" they say "haaaaw"
