My alphabets have become very naughty...

Here are some common symptoms of dyslexia:

“My alphabets have become very naughty. They are flying all around. My “c” becomes a rabbit hiding in the bushes, “a” is standing upside down, and “t” has become a cloud hanging in the sky.” 

Just think about what goes on in the mind of a little child who has been asked to write sentences, but all she sees are dancing and hopping alphabets.

• The child is unwilling to go to school and has constant difficulties in keeping up with the class.
• The child may be too quiet or he/she will act up to either distract the teacher or get attention from other children.
• There is a marked discrepancy between the child’s apparent intelligence and his/her achievement in reading and spelling.
• Difficulties with spelling, visual tracking and confusion between left and right.
• Difficulties in copying from the board, following simple instructions and reading and comprehension.
• Trouble with organizing and writing thoughts and ideas.
• Difficulties in multi-instructions & multi-tasking.
• Poor grammar, handwriting and weak memory.
• Difficulty in verbalizing short or long words, weak vocabulary (at least initially) and delayed spoken language.
• Possible difficulty with mathematics (though not necessarily)
• Additional diagnosis of ADD/ADHD in some cases.
