Dyslexia

Up to 1 in 5 people show signs of dyslexia¹, a language-based learning disability that affects reading and spelling. Signs include:

  • Difficulty with word reading, decoding, and oral reading fluency
  • Signs of difficulty typically emerge in preschool or kindergarten when early literacy skills are introduced
  • Trouble with arithmetic fluency and verbal number tasks, such as word problems, while basic number processing remains intact
  • Difficulty acquiring letter-sound knowledge and naming/writing letters
  • Better comprehension when listening than reading
  • Difficulty with spelling and written expression
  • Poor response to literacy instruction
  • Avoidance of reading and writing tasks
