Looking back on her preschool years, I now recognize the early warning signs. They were there, but I didn\u2019t know. Things such as difficulty hearing rhyming words, like cat, hat, and mat. My daughter couldn\u2019t rhyme, and I didn\u2019t understand why.<\/p>\n

We had a pre-reading assessment completed, and we discovered there were definite signs indicating that my daughter had Dyslexia. The Reading Center<\/a> encouraged us to advocate that she not be held back, as Dyslexia does not have anything to do with intelligence.<\/p>\n

\"dyslexia_signs2\"<\/p>\n

As I have started learning more about Dyslexia, I am much more aware of the signs and symptoms of this language-based learning disability.<\/p>\n

General signs can include learning to speak, learning letters and their sounds, spelling, and trouble recognizing words that begin with the same sound. Of course, not all people with Dyslexia will have difficulty with all of these skills. Dyslexia affects each person uniquely.<\/p>\n

There are many wonderful resources that extensively list signs to pay attention to at various ages\u2014from preschool to middle school and beyond. A couple that I found particularly helpful include The 1in5 Initiative<\/a> and Understood<\/a>.<\/p>\n
