[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Making up [b](filling in) words [/b]rather than sounding them out, [b]getting certain sound combinations wrong frequently[/b], [b]resisting reading [/b](looking back, because it required more energy than it would for the average child). [b]Terrible spelling[/b]. Read Sally Shaywitz' book Overcoming Dyslexia. She has checklists of issues to note for different ages. The younger a child is the harder it is to detect, but her point is that done right, you can gather information at a much younger age than the school systems tell you. (The school systems often prefer to wait till 3rd grade before asking the question.) [/quote] Although, on the flip side, it's doesn't always mean dyslexia... my child did those things and it turned out that she just hadn't learned to read properly. It happens a lot in schools these days. I retaught her over the summer (before school started) and she's fine now. [/quote]
