Dyslexia is a disorder who despite conventional classroom experience, fail to reach the expected level in language, skills of reading, writing and spelling that you would expect from their intellectual abilities. It can look like early reading disability or problems with phonological awareness and processing.A young dyslexic child has difficulty looking at letters and linking them to sounds of speech.Most have difficulty identifying separate speech sounds within a word.They may have difficulty expressing themselves clearly or comprehending what others mean. This needs to be assessed by a diagnostician.
