What is Dyslexia & How to Spot it

Dyslexia is a neurological disorder in which there is unexpected failure to read. It is genetic - where brain cells are arranged differently from a normal reader's. The extent of the difference in brain cell arrangement determines the severity. About 90% of cases are hereditary.

How to spot it:

• Mirror writing and letter reversal - writing 'b' instead of "d'
• Poor concentration
• Confuse left and right
• Unable to understand time and tense
• Learning to talk late
• Mental block with reading, writing or spelling
• Difficulty in copying
• Speech or hearing difficulties
• Difficulty in sequencing - listing the days of the week.
