Families often notice these first.

Many parents see the signs long before anyone says the word dyslexia.

Reading feels like hard workSlow, laboured reading, or guessing at words instead of sounding them out.
Spelling will not stay putA word is spelled correctly on Monday and differently by Friday.
Bright out loud, stuck on the pageUnderstands and explains well in conversation, while reading and writing lag behind.
Dreads reading aloudGoes quiet, avoids it, or finds a reason to be somewhere else.

Only an assessment can say for certain. The webinar walks you through how that works and what comes next.
