If you’ve dealt with these issues, it’s possible your child has trouble reading.
Studies show that as many in one in 5 people have difficulty reading.
But could it be dyslexia?
Dyslexia is primarily associated with trouble reading, but it can also affect writing, spelling, speaking and math.
Just a few common warning signs of dyslexia:
- Trouble memorizing address, phone number or the alphabet
- A close relative with dyslexia
- Inconsistent performance on school work
- Letter and number reversals
- Slow, choppy, and inaccurate reading
- Skips or misreads simple words and word endings
- Terrible spelling
- Difficulty reading and spelling irregular sight words (does, said, off…)
- Trouble memorizing math facts
- Difficulty learning to tie shoes
The best way to help someone with reading difficulties is through effective, systematic, multi-sensory instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
We help students with reading difficulties every day through a variety of services.
