There are at least 37 common characteristics of Dyslexia. The most noticeable symptoms -
- Reading / Writing few lines may seem herculean task; Child avoids or shows no interest in reading or writing; Prefers to listen instead
- Handwriting is illegible
- Cursive writing is simply not possible
- Confusion on alphabets identification
- Numbers are challenge
- Difficulty in following sequence of instructions
- Confusion in sense of direction (left/ right)
- Low threshold for confusion; emotional response
If the problem is not addressed at root any amount of repetition, rote memorization, and training on phonics simply will not help. It surmounts confusion and frustration; person develops compulsive solutions and real learning does not happen.
These problems extinguishes the joy of childhood! Families suffer, an otherwise talented individual get labels like ‘slow’, ‘non performer’ etc. and the Gifted one may become a trouble maker, a bully or gets bullied.
