Many people have Dyslexia and the widespread nature of Dyslexia should merit awareness. Dyslexia is a brain pattern in which people confuse the sounds that letters make as they read. This can make students feel intimidated or discouraged about their educational opportunities. Dyslexic students can actually read but struggle to do so out loud.
Early signs of Dyslexia are relatively easy to spot and include slowness in reading despite normal development in other skills. If your child displays some symptoms of Dyslexia there are several resources to help you out even though there is no specific test for it. Your doctor can point you in the right direction to proceed.
