Dyslexia is a disorder which makes it difficult for individuals of average or above average intelligence to read, write, and spell and sometimes to compute, organize, and comprehend material in their native language. It often runs in families and may be caused by naturally occurring brain differences. Many individuals learn to compensate for or practically overcome their weaknesses through proper teaching methods and practice. Back to Top How would I know if my child has dyslexia? The characteristics of dyslexia vary from person-to-person. Some children experience problems in many areas while some may have a difficulty in only one area. Many young children exhibit one or more of the following characteristics; however, persistent occurrences should alert teachers and parents to the possibility of dyslexia: Problems in learning the names of the letters of the alphabet Difficulty in learning to read Difficulty in reading comprehension Difficulty in learning to write the alphabet correctly in sequence Reversal of letters or sequences of letters/numbers after age 8-9 Repeated erratic spelling errors Ability to learn to spell a "list" of words sufficiently to "pass" a weekly test, but may be unable to spell any of the words the next week
