Common Dyslexia Symptoms

Reading Difficulties

In young people and children, dyslexia is often first noticed when they fall behind other counterparts in learning how to read. Indeed, this is the main indicator of this condition. Some reading issues might include a delay in recognizing the connection between sounds and letters, the confusion between small words such as goes and does or to and at, or consistent writing, spelling, and reading errors. Several common errors might include word reversals like pit and tip, letter reversals like b and d, substitutions like home and house, transpositions like left and felt, or inversions like n for u. Also, people with dyslexia might need to read many times to fully comprehend a short passage. [3]
