Reading in Months. Confidence for Life.
Be on the lookout for these risk factors and warning signs that may indicate your child or teen has dyslexia or other reading challenges:
Family & Early Development
Family history of reading or spelling difficulties
Delayed speech or trouble pronouncing specific letters/words
Difficulty with rhyming
Reading & Spelling Patterns

Guesses at words using only the first few letters
Drops sounds or letters when spelling (example: "slip" becomes "sip")
Still confuses b/d after second grade
Struggles to recognize the same word repeatedly
Emotional Response
Self-conscious about reading aloud
"Hates" reading or avoids it entirely
Only reads graphic novels or picture-heavy books
