Dyslexia Symptoms By Age

Dyslexia is a reading disorder due to problems with reading, spelling, writing, or speaking.
People with dyslexia with normal intelligence are normally white, and most children with dyslexia can attend school through tutoring or specialized education programs.
Despite this, the color makes its appearance. In some cases, it is diagnosed as studious and is not recognized until adulthood, but it is not too late to receive help.
Symptoms Before Entering School
It can be hard to recognize the signs of reading in front of a child, but it could be some indication of a problem.
Signs that a young child may be at risk of returning an indicator of dyslexia include:
- Late talk
- Learn new words
- Problems forming words correctly, such as reversing sounds in words or confusing words that sound the same
- Problems remembering or naming letters, numbers, and colors
- Difficulty learning nursery rhymes/nursery rhymes

Once a child goes to school, dyslexia signs and symptoms may become more noticeable, including:

When To See a Doctor?
Although most children are ready to learn to read in kindergarten or first grade, children with Dyslexia often cannot understand the basics of reading at that time.
Talk to your child’s doctor if his reading level is lower than expected for his or her age or if you notice other signs.
