Potential signs of dyslexia and learning differences

Does Reading Feel Like a Daily Struggle?

Parent and child both start homework optimistically at 3:30pm. By 5:30pm, they’re still working on the same reading assignment.

  • Child is bright and engaged in class discussions but freezes when facing text on a page
  • Understands concepts perfectly when explained verbally, yet struggles to decode even simple words independently
  • The kitchen table becomes a battlefield of frustration, with phrases like “I know this, I just can’t get it out”

Your child has an incredible vocabulary and tells amazing stories, yet avoids reading at all costs.

  • Can predict plot twists and discuss character motivations deeply during read-alouds
  • Develops sudden headaches or remembers urgent tasks when it’s their turn to read
  • Relies heavily on memorization or context clues rather than actually reading words

In class, your child shines with insightful comments and creative problem-solving, yet their written work tells a different story.

  • Teachers report excellent verbal participation but written work doesn’t match their demonstrated knowledge
  • Math scores plummet when word problems are introduced
  • Science grades drop when focus shifts from hands-on experiments to textbook reading

Your child has developed increasingly sophisticated strategies to avoid reading, showing both creativity and concerning patterns.

  • Becomes expert at scanning for context clues and memorizing entire passages
  • Consistently finds video alternatives for assigned reading
  • Chooses books below their intellectual level because they’re easier to manage

The enthusiastic kindergartener who loved school is becoming increasingly withdrawn and anxious.

  • Morning routines now include complaints of stomach aches and pleas to stay home
  • Reading aloud in class has become their biggest fear, leading to avoidance behaviors
  • Natural curiosity and love of learning is being overshadowed by anxiety about reading-based tasks
