Dyslexia is more than just mixing up letters — it’s a specific learning difficulty that affects how the brain processes written language. And it’s more common than many people realise.
Some early signs to watch for include:
📚 Ongoing struggles with reading and spelling
🕒 Slow progress, even when your child is getting extra help or literacy interventions
🧠 Difficulty remembering instructions or learning new words
📝 Written work that doesn’t reflect their thinking or verbal skills
😞 Frustration, low confidence, or signs of anxiety around schoolwork
In teens, dyslexia might show up differently — sometimes as poor motivation, falling behind academically, or avoiding reading and writing tasks altogether.
An assessment can help clarify what’s going on — identifying both the challenges and the strengths — and guide the right support at school and home.
With the right understanding and tools, children and teens with dyslexia can thrive.
