Children
with dyslexia is different by their age. Generally, people with dyslexia have
difficulty breaking down words into simple sounds.
They
struggle to learn how sounds relate to letters and words, which leads to slow reading
and poor reading comprehension.
The
preschool years
( before 5 years old )
The earliest
signs of dyslexia emerge around 1 to 2 years of age when children first learn
to make sounds. Children who don’t say their first words until 15 months of age
or their first phrases until 2 years of age have a higher risk of developing
dyslexia.
However, not
all people with speech delays develop dyslexia, and not all people with
dyslexia have speech delays as children. A speech delay is just a cue for
parents to pay attention to language development.
Children from
families with a history of reading difficulties should also be monitored
closely for dyslexia.
